Potential assessment of establishing a renewable energy plant in a rural agricultural area

Ming-Chien Su, Nien-Hsin Kao, Wen-Jar Huang · 2012 · Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association

Summary. Researchers assessed the feasibility of building a renewable energy plant in a rural Taiwanese township that generates substantial agricultural waste from pig farms. Using GIS mapping and energy modeling, they found that biogas from manure combined with solar panels could viably produce electricity while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and treating waste. The study identifies the most suitable location and demonstrates strong economic and environmental potential under Taiwan's green energy policies.
