Resource requirements and multiple values of biogas technology for rural households in developing countries

This report is based on a literature review to analyze various aspects of biogas technology and address resource requirements and multiple values of biogas technology for rural household in developing countries. Biogas technology has been developed and widely used to produce a renewable, high-quality fuel, biogas. However, the development of biogas technology significantly differs over the world, particularly between developing countries and developed countries. In rural areas of developing countries, biogas is normally used for cooking, lighting, heating, etc, and feedstock for biogas production derives from agricultural resources, such as manure and harvest remains. In addition, biogas technology also contributes to GHGs emission reduction and produces a valuable and improved fertilizer.
