Abstract
To mitigate adverse impacts and fossil fuels demands the investments by oil trading countries are inclining towards green energy. Various forms of sustainable energies are being addressed today, but major barrier to all renewables is their cost. Therefore, cost-effectiveness, sustainability, least environment and health impact are what make any source preferable. As increasing population, fuel demand and waste generation are well accorded, this paper aims to underline a better renewable alternative which besides being renewable can deal with various other problems like waste management and pollution. Bioenergy is evolving worldwide especially in agriculture dominated countries. Here, a comparative status for renewable energies, technological advancements across the globe are put forward, further focusing on India as an agriculture hub, i) scope- the estimated potential and unutilized source, ii) barriers – unorganized management, financial and technological aspects, iii) identified solution – R&D, infrastructure and iv) socio-economic – mutual benefits between society and environment are discussed.
