Abstract
Energy has become very important and plays a pivotal role in the overall development of any country.The basic infrastructure for the industrial, social and economic development of country is highly dependent on energy.Household and community wastes have emerged as the food for thought for harnessing the energy in many developed countries.The need of the hour is to properly utilise the resources so that maximum energy can be extracted from these wastes which are always readily ignored. These days, a novel environmental schema is emerging, which is now forcing itself on the attention of policy-makers and the public at large. In recent years, there are various harmful effects of global warming due to nearly dependence of fossil fuels are observed. The need of developing clean, sustainable and secure energy resources is realized. The economic growth cannot be sustained until reliable energy is made available at a responsible cost.Energy can be harnessed from variety of resources available. Biomass has effectively proved as the one of the potential source of energy as it completely helps in providing the solution for the depleting resources and efficiently handles the global warming.Fossil fuels, which are used for thermal and electricity applications can be replaced by biogas because it is ecofriendly.Biogas has proved itself very reliable in terms of electrical efficiency and has readily shown its immense potential for the generation of electricity.Thus biomass gasfication has provided different alternative to conventional heat and power generation systems.
