Operation of biomass energy projects in agricultural settings can result in stabilization of wastes, reduction of odors, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and generation of renewable energy sources. In biomass energy, agricultural wastes are anaerobically treated in digesters where microorganisms metabolize wastes and produce biogas. The biogas contains high concentrations of methane that can be used to fuel engine-generators, resulting in the production of electricity and heat. Although there are many advantages of biomass energy, the technical issues require clarification prior to implementation of such projects on a large scale
