Abstract

Nowadays, with the significant increase in the activities and budgets of governments and companies in research, installation and operation of renewable energy systems, the total cost of production of renewable energies are drastically reduced. Currently, Investing in the biomass-based power plant leads to waste management, the production of electricity as well as generation many employments. Therefore, several policies and incentives have been proposed in different countries. In this article, the various technologies of energy extraction from biomass resources and comparative studies of the worldwide development of biomass-based power plant are conducted. The current state of operation of these power plants, jobs and investments, levelized cost of energy, and the future goals and development policies of this technology in different countries are introduced. The results represents that in Iran, despite the existence of valid upstream regulation, there has been no firm determination to develop these power plants. However, according to the goals of the countries in the region such as Pakistan and Turkey, facilitation laws and financial incentives should be adopted in Iran.
