Abstract
Biogas from biomass appears to have potential as an alternative energy source, biomass resources being available
worldwide. This is an overview of some salient points and perspectives of biogas technology. The current literature
is reviewed regarding the ecological, social, cultural and economic impacts of biogas technology. This article gives
an overview of present and future use of biomass as an industrial feedstock for the production of fuels, chemicals
and other materials. To be truly competitive in an open market situation, higher value products are required. Results
suggest that biogas technology must be encouraged, promoted, invested in, implemented and demonstrated,
especially in remote rural areas.
