“…In particular, the impact magnitudes are 0.039 and 0.070 for EU13 and 0.016 and 0.051 for EU15 members, respectively. This indicates that a remarkable transformation in the natural landscape can occur in EU13 underdeveloped countries by increasing carbon dioxide and population density than in EU15 developed countries [71,72]. On the other hand, the findings show that the positive influence of economic growth on land-use change is greater in the EU15 members than in the EU13 members.…”

Under the current European Union (EU) constitution approved in May 2018, EU countries ought to guarantee that estimated greenhouse-gas releases from land use, land-use change, or forestry are entirely compensated by an equivalent accounted removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air during the period between 2021 and 2030. This study investigates the effect of sustainable hydropower production on land-use change in the European Union (EU28) region countries during 1990–2018, using the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS). The results revealed that land-use change incline with an increase in hydropower energy production. In addition, economic growth, carbon dioxide emissions, and population density are found to be increasing land-use changes, while institutional quality is found to be decreasing land-use change significantly. The finding implies that land-use change in EU28 region countries can be significantly increased by mounting the amount of hydropower energy production to achieve Energy Union aims by 2030. This will finally be spread to combat climate change and environmental pollution. The findings are considered robust as they were checked with DOLS and pooled OLS. The research suggests that the EU28 countries pay attention to the share of hydropower in their renewable energy combination to minimize carbon releases. Politicians and investors in the EU28 region ought to invest further in the efficiency and sustainability of hydropower generation to increase its production and accessibility without further degradation of forest and agricultural conditions. The authorities of the EU28 region should emphasize on efficiency and sustainability of hydropower energy with land-use management to achieve the international commitments for climate, biodiversity, and sustainable development, reduce dependence on fossil fuel, and energy insecurity.

“…Fourth, bioenergy is also a solution to encourage local, regional, and national economies through agricultural development. The demand for bioenergy raw materials will encourage an increase in biomass production from domestic resources, which in turn will encourage the growth of the bioenergy industry, expansion of employment opportunities, increased state revenues, and economic growth [29].…”

The development of biogas in community settlements is now very much needed. It is since people's uses of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) are very high but are not matched by its availability. Many areas in the Special Region of Yogyakarta are starting to switch to using renewable energy, biogas, for cooking. The utilization of biogas is now not only for rural communities but has penetrated urban communities. In Cangkringan Subdistrict, Sleman, many people have switched to using biogas as a substitute for LPG. However, many farmers still have not utilized livestock manure as alternative energy, namely biogas. In reality, many of the reasons people have not used livestock manure for alternative energy are due to a lack of knowledge about biogas. Besides, the beginning of biogas production starts in rural areas as, in rural settlements, many breeders have livestock, and rural areas are appropriate for farmers to raise livestock to plow fields. Lastly, urban areas have vital areas where biogas utilization is very difficult. Nevertheless, many apartments and even large companies have now switched to using alternative energy such as solar cells and even biogas.

“…The productivity of resources, especially bioenergy, has been shown to affect economic growth [2]. As a result, it is clear that the expansion of the bioenergy business aids the reduction in pollution and unemployment [3]. Several authors have concluded that bioenergy has a significant role to play in the decarbonization of society.…”

A Critical Overview of the State-of-the-Art Methods for Biogas Purification and Utilization Processes

Biogas is one of the most attractive renewable resources due to its ability to convert waste into energy. Biogas is produced during an anaerobic digestion process from different organic waste resources with a combination of mainly CH4 (~50 mol/mol), CO2 (~15 mol/mol), and some trace gasses. The percentage of these trace gases is related to operating conditions and feedstocks. Due to the impurities of the trace gases, raw biogas has to be cleaned before use for many applications. Therefore, the cleaning, upgrading, and utilization of biogas has become an important topic that has been widely studied in recent years. In this review, raw biogas components are investigated in relation to feedstock resources. Then, using recent developments, it describes the cleaning methods that have been used to eliminate unwanted components in biogas. Additionally, the upgrading processes are systematically reviewed according to their technology, recovery range, and state of the art methods in this area, regarding obtaining biomethane from biogas. Furthermore, these upgrading methods have been comprehensively reviewed and compared with each other in terms of electricity consumption and methane losses. This comparison revealed that amine scrubbing is one the most promising methods in terms of methane losses and the energy demand of the system. In the section on biogas utilization, raw biogas and biomethane have been assessed with recently available data from the literature according to their usage areas and methods. It seems that biogas can be used as a biofuel to produce energy via CHP and fuel cells with high efficiency. Moreover, it is able to be utilized in an internal combustion engine which reduces exhaust emissions by using biofuels. Lastly, chemical production such as biomethanol, bioethanol, and higher alcohols are in the development stage for utilization of biogas and are discussed in depth. This review reveals that most biogas utilization approaches are in their early stages. The gaps that require further investigations in the field have been identified and highlighted for future research.
