Abstract
There is a large scope for renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass energies to meet the decentralised requirements such as for lighting, heating, pumping water and electricity generation in remote and rural areas in many of the world countries as well as in Egypt. Biomass energy is the most convenient type of these resources for all rural areas of Egypt. So, this thesis aims to assess this renewable resource for rural areas development in Egypt.
Biomass is available in large quantities from agriculture, human and animal wastes. The main problem of biomass energy is the assessment of biogas fuel production and its costs. So, a proposed model has been introduced in this thesis to assess the biogass fuel production of the previous raw materials. Also, a statistics study is carried out to assess the annual amount of agriculture, human and animal wastes in an Egyptian village in Menoufiya Governorate. The results of this study is used with the proposed model to evaluate the biogas (methane) production for the study village. Then, a technical and economical model is presented to assess the economy of methane gas production, the electricity production of biogas-electricity generation system (BEGS) and the economy of this electricity. This model is applied to develop the economy of biogas production and electricity generation of BEGS at the study Egyptian village.
