       Abstract

      Bioenergy is a widespread form of modern renewable energy source because of the devastating impacts of high demand for fossil fuel, i.e., global warming and environmental effects. This paper addresses the different engineering aspects of bioenergy and its international status. Bioenergy deals with their chemical structure, characterization, technologies available for conversion, scientific processes and their related products, all of which are are reviewed and discussed. Moreover, bioenergy-derived products are analyzed from environmental and techno-economic considerations, and observations and remarks are presented. Finally, the challenges faced expand the share of bioenergy employments in the global energy market and developed countries.

      Biomass is finding increased attention in industry and academia as one of the preferred choices of eco-friendly and sustainable energy sources. The need for biomass has multiplied in recent years because of government support in many countries and sharp cost reductions for power generation fuel and heat generation in industry and as a fuel used in transport. Biomass has so far been the renewable energy source most resilient to Covid-19 lockdown measures. The share of renewables in the global electricity supply reached nearly 28% in the first quarter of 2020, up from 26% during the same period in 2019 [1].

      Bioenergy must be produced in ways that are environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. The potential is enormous to produce bioenergy cost-effectively and sustainably on existing farmlands and grasslands and to use residues from existing forests without encroaching upon rainforests.

      Bioenergy technologies utilize plant or animal waste, and it also involves material after their natural and artificial transformation and can be used for energy production [5–9] or, in other words, the resources of bioenergy are made of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen [10, 11]. Examples of bioenergy resources are bagasse, sawdust, household waste, and wastewater, pelletized agricultural waste, etc. [12–15].
