What is Rural Semi-Arid Areas

Chapter 17
Biomass and Bioenergy Solutions for Climate Change Mitigation and Sustainability
In the sub-Saharan Africa context, a land of marginal crop production potential, quick maturing cereals, and carrying natural vegetation of Acacia-Themeda association but including dry Brachystegia woodland. It is a potentially productive grazing area, limited by bush encroachment, leached soils, and inadequate water.

Abstract
The mitigation of adverse climate change requires holistic strategies. The strategies include the proper handling of biomass wastes such as cow dung. The handling of the wastes has to be efficient using appropriately designed anaerobic digesters. In addition, the operating status of these digesters has to be monitored for detection of any fault of the digesters. Unfortunately, existing approaches for designing and monitoring the working condition of digesters have limitations. This chapter presents the innovative and explicit conceptual design approach of adapting the biomass-fed anaerobic digester and the digester operating-status-indicators in semi-arid areas. The approach is recommended to the renewable energy system designers. Finally, the appropriate indicators are recommended to be applied by the biogas plant operators or users.
