Abstract
Biogas, as a source of renewable energy, can play a crucial role in achieving a balanced, harmonious, and sustainable development, ensuring economic competitiveness and reducing the environmental degradation in Asia. However, the development of the biogas industry in Asia shows a gloomy picture due to the prevailing socioeconomic and institutional barriers. This article highlights the significant impediments behind this sluggishness in biogas diffusion, develops a dynamic model, and proposes an efficient solution mechanism for the biogas industry. The discussion of this article is expected to help policymakers implement the optimum biogas policies for the Asian countries.
