Policy Brief
Bio-energy/bio-fuel is renewable source of energy produced from agricultural and forest products or the biodegradable portion of industrial or municipal waste. It is not new source of energy, even though its production has been limited to domestic us. Only recently it has succeeded in sowing hope for a large-scale development particularly to help reduce dependence on fossil fuels which is under threat of exhaustion, increase access to energy for the poor and improved incomes in local communities.
Research Benefits and Outcomes
The main benefit of this research is turning research into business (off takers). Thus, changing the old narrative of keeping research into luck and key and battling with intellectual property (patent). Products from the research include but not limited to the following: beverages, food, greenhouses, bio-fertilizers, plastics, building materials, water desalination, and synthetic fuels.
