“…Figure 5 shows a schematic illustration of biogas production integrated with CHP (modified from Polysmart report, 2008). Biogas and digestate are two major products obtained from processing organic waste in the biogas facility (Salehi et al, 2013). The digestate can be either used as liquid biofertilizer or further dried and processed to fuel for CHP production.…”

The world's energy consumption is projected to increase rapidly that will cause depletion of known fossil fuel resources, global warming, and threat to future energy security. Biomass is likely to play a significant role in the future energy systems replacing conventional fuels because of strict regulations for reducing greenhouse gas ( GHG ) emissions and contributing as additional resource in the global energy mix. Biomass is processed in a biorefinery facility for polygeneration of bioenergy products such as biofuels, heat, and power. Polygeneration system can be categorized based on various process routes producing electricity or biofuels or even providing only heat, for example, biomass gasification system, integrated biogas production with combined heat and power by treating organic waste, and tri‐generation systems. The successful commercialization of biorefinery systems for polygeneration requires pilot plants to demonstrate improvements in energy efficiency, substantial biofuel, heat, and power production potential from biomass together with reduced cost. From the sustainability perspective, biorefinery systems show numerous economic, social, and environmental benefits including diversification in biomass resources and bioenergy products.

Solar energy is one of the most promising options for renewable energy and biomass is one of them. One of the main biomass sources, sugarcane bagasse, is produced annually in more than hundreds of nations worldwide exceeding 4.25 billion tons. To dry a 900-mm deep fixed bed of wet sugarcane bagasse, a solar air heater with a collector area of 2 m 2 was installed. Between October 10 th to 19 th in Gwangju, South Korea, a 9-day drying period, the solar collector received a total of 496,145 kJ of solar radiation. During this time, 54.5 kg of water was extracted from 133 kg of wet sugarcane bagasse (average green moisture content of 47.6%w.b.). The estimated net heat from the evaporation of water removed during the dying period accounted for approximately 27% of the total solar radiation on the solar collector.

“…Combustion characteristics are more favourable at elevated temperatures; however, such solutions are less profitable. The competitive potential of biogas is also limited by its price . Reviews by Nizami et al and Prochnow et al on anaerobic fermentation confirm that grassy phytomass may provide high yields of methane; however, huge fermentors or long retention times are necessary because there is much ballast organic matter in the process.…”
