Smart Bio-Energy: A Review of IoT-Integrated Biogas Power Generation Systems

Abstract

Rural electrification is a key factor in ensuring sustainable development, economic growth, and improved living standards in underdeveloped regions. However, many remote villages lack access to reliable electricity due to their distance from the national grid and high infrastructure costs. This paper explores the feasibility of utilizing biogas as an alternative, sustainable energy source for electricity generation to connect rural villages. Biogas, produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic matter such as agricultural waste, livestock manure, and human waste, offers a renewable and eco-friendly solution. By harnessing local resources, rural communities can achieve energy self-sufficiency and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. This system provides not only electricity but also enhances waste management and generates by-products like bio-fertilizer, promoting a circular economy.
