Abstract

Bioenergy production from agricultural residues represents a promising avenue towards sustainable energy solutions, utilizing biomass resources that would otherwise be underutilized or discarded. the technological innovations and environmental impacts associated with bioenergy production from agricultural residues. Technological advancements in biomass conversion processes, including thermochemical and biochemical conversion pathways, have enhanced the efficiency and feasibility of converting residues such as crop residues, forestry residues, and animal manure into bioenergy. These innovations aim to optimize energy yields while minimizing environmental footprints, including greenhouse gas emissions and soil nutrient depletion. Environmental impacts related to bioenergy production from agricultural residues encompass considerations such as land use changes, water resource utilization, and potential impacts on biodiversity. Mitigation strategies focus on sustainable biomass sourcing, ecosystem-based management approaches, and integrated land-use planning to ensure environmental sustainability. Through a comprehensive review of current research and case studies, this paper underscores the potential of bioenergy from agricultural residues to contribute to renewable energy portfolios while addressing environmental challenges.
