Abstract

This review explores bioenergy's role in the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Bioenergy, derived from biomass like plants and organic waste, promises a reliable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly energy source. However, concerns about its sustainability and feasibility require a com-prehensive assessment of environmental, economic, and social factors.
