Feasibility Study of Electrical Energy Generation from Poultry Waste in Bangladesh

Abstract

Biogas that can be produced from poultry waste is a promising renewable energy source in Bangladesh. Rising poultry industries have a salient potential to generate electricity from biogas by utilizing the poultry wastes. A comparing study has done by analyzing several features (i.e. number of firms, birds, amount of total waste etc.) to show the possibility of electricity generation efficiently. It has been observed that about 0.036 billion kWh per year can be generated from poultry waste which is about 0.75% of total energy consumption. Again, an efficient purification technique (chemical absorption technique) has been suggested to reduce hydrogen sulfide ($H_{2}S$) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from biogas.
