Abstract

This chapter aims to discuss the potential and future prospective of waste-to-energy in arid and semi-arid regions. The main focus will be on the conversion of waste biomass and organic matter to biofuel and biochar through thermochemical and biological processes. The chapter starts by identifying the various types of waste biomass sources that are particularly pertaining to these regions. This will be followed by providing the most recent data on the quantities of waste biomass in some identified worldwide arid and semi-arid regions. Systematic assessment of the biomass and organic matter characteristics (physical, chemical, and thermal) will be presented to evaluate their potential for biofuels and biochar production. Apart from the great potential of biofuels as renewable energy sources, this chapter demonstrates the environmental benefit of biochar in countering land degradation, improving soil fertility, besides highlighting the potential of the by-product water in stretching the limited water resources to support the growth of plants and animal life in arid and semi-arid regions. The chapter concludes by stating the main challenges and recommendations for sustainable bioenergy technologies in arid and semi-arid regions.
