| چکیده | ||
| This research provides an in-depth evaluation of biomass resources both in Iran and globally, emphasizing rural areas and the potential conversion of municipal solid waste and livestock manure into energy. It examines the current landscape of biomass energy production and its role as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. In Iran, considerable biomass is available through agricultural residues, animal waste, and municipal solid waste (MSW), although these resources remain largely underexploited. Conversely, evidence from South-East Asian nations (SEAN) reveals a more advanced utilization of biomass, presenting a clear opportunity for Iran to improve its approach. The study highlights that challenges related to regulation, technology, and market acceptance are key obstacles preventing the broader adoption of biomass energy in Iran. Moreover, recent progress, such as the launch of large-scale biomass facilities, indicates that a concerted shift toward renewable energy could bolster energy security, lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and drive socio-economic development. The results advocate for further research into more efficient biomass conversion technologies and the formulation of tailored, region-specific policies to unlock the full potential of biomass energy in Iran and similar regions. | ||
