Authors : Kamrun Nahar

Abstract : Sustainability generally depends on the socio-economic development of a country and the availability and consumption of energy. The available sources of energy can be classified into nonrenewable and renewable. In the renewable account, the energy is being deposited everyday whereas the non- renewable energy deposits are continuously depleted by our withdrawals. Due to continuous depletion in the natural resources by an increased consumption of the energy, alternatives of fossil fuels must be searched out. Bioenergy is the only alternative and cheap source of energy which can be made available especially for the rural agricultural people of Bangladesh. This paper describes the various uses of an important energy crop, Water hyacinth and the production of biogas using it as a feedstock, which could be collected from the water body and converted to gas, fertilizer and many other useful products.
