“…Conventional liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) fuel is commonly used for cooking in both restaurant and household area, the increasing of conventional LPG fuel price has impacted the economic concern of the people and led to the increase rate of using biogas for cooking (Patowary et al, 2019). Biodegradable solid waste such as kitchen food, sewage sludge, and animal waste can be decomposed and generate biogas that normally consists of 70% methane (CH 4 ), biogas has a good calorific value with the average of 5,000 kcal m-3 which can be ignited easily and use for heating and cooking (Abbasi et al, 2012).…”

The issues of global warming and greenhouse gasses have raised the concern of the people and led to integrate ambitious of using bioenergy in many countries. In this paper, the issues of conventional energy are stated, and the different types of conventional energy resources are discussed including coal, petroleum and natural gas. The process of pulverized coal combustion (PCC) to generate electricity is also studied and discussed in this paper to have a better understanding of the process and the emission of greenhouse gas released from the use of coal to generate conventional energy. The reason of soil contamination and air pollution caused by the refinery process of petroleum is also discussed in this paper and several study cases of the social economic impact caused by the production of natural gas in development countries. Furthermore, the used of bioenergy and different type of bioenergy resource are discussed including biogas, algae biofuel, and biodiesel. The process of algae cultivation for algae biofuel and the study of toxic waste algae strains that can give a negative impact to the environment is studied to avoid harmful substances released to the environment. The potential algae application in different fields is also included to show the benefit of algae biofuel which is flexible and able to contribute to the global economic growth. Lastly, the advantages of using bioenergy are discussed including the mitigation of greenhouse gas emission, improve social economic growth, renewable energy resources and prevent prescribed burning of the forest.
