Decentralized biomass for biogas production. Evaluation and potential assessment in Punjab (India)

Punjab state has huge potential of conversion of biomass to energy that can produce estimated3172 MW power which is the highest among all the states in India. All the developing countriesare struggling with increasing energy demand and the environmental pollution. The renewable andsustainable energy...
