Abstract

The high output of biomass, which has increased during recent years, and the limitations of existing means of disposing biomass highlight the need to find alternative routes to manage this waste. The utilization of biomass as a renewable resource for energy recovery is the appropriate solution of how to manage the continuously increasing waste generation effectively in order to meet stringent environmental quality standards. In this chapter, an assessment of biomass resources, management and challenges will be presented. The broad areas of agricultural crop residues, urban wastes and animal wastes are included. The availability of these types of biomass together is given. A brief description of possible biomass conversion routes, sustainability measures, and current work and development activities in Yemen is provided. It is concluded that a large availability of biomass in Yemen gives a great potential for bio-fuel production from these biomass resources.
