removes the dependence

on imported fuel

price of biofuel can be cheaper

because fossil fuels become

more expensive year in year out

Digester

Possible chemical compounds after combustion of biofuel are NO and CO that degrade environment. Filtration is essential

biofuel production requires huge storage area

input electricity needed to supply heating system

Cons

Forestry waste constitutes approximately 1 million tons per year which is equivalent to 2.3 TWh

20 per cent of the overall straw producing will constitute 87 GWh.

few obstacles make it difficult to realize bioenergy production

bioenergy is pushed to the sideline because of huge oil and gas resources

bad governmental attention
