The problem is limited to the fragmentation of agricultural holdings and the lack of public wages in the villages, which led the farms to conduct the process of studying crops on the same cultivated area, and thus becomes an urgent need to get rid of the waste from the harvest and threshing process in the shortest possible time to prepare the land for the following crops.
And some agricultural waste represents one of the energy sources in the Egyptian countryside, where the annual production of field crop residues reached about 30 million tons, while the annual production quantities of animal waste are about 30 million other tons, and Egypt began implementing organic waste recycling systems by establishing biogas units for production Biogas from livestock manure.
The country has recently suffered from crises such as lack of electric power, environmental problems such as garbage accumulation in cities and villages alike, and the presence of plant and animal farm waste, some of which are a problem, in addition to crises of unavailability of gas pipelines, and other economic and environmental problems that do not There is plenty of room to mention it. The Egyptian state is trying to overcome these problems by various means.
Which led to thinking about using biogas technology, as it is inexpensive and environmentally friendly, to get rid of the waste of villages and cities, and produce alternative energy, safe fertilizer, and most importantly, a clean and safe environment, in addition to accessing clean agricultural products with a competitive capacity benefiting the Citizen health and the national economy .
The study targeted the economic evaluation of the Bioenergy project for sustainable rural development, and the identification of problems facing this project and proposals for solving it .
The study indicated the decrease of indicators of financial analysis for the biogas project, which indicates that the goal of adopting this technology is not in its economic form, but rather succeeded in achieving the environmental goal of it.
