| Summary, etc. biblio.abstract | Renewable energy, particularly biogas, stands as a<br/>pivotal solution amidst global energy challenges, offering sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Himachal<br/>Pradesh, a mountainous region in North India, exemplifies this shift with a growing network of biogas<br/>plants to alleviate energy poverty and environmental<br/>degradation. However, the operational success of these<br/>biogas plants remains precarious, marked by a significant non-functionality rate. The present study examines<br/>180 biogas plants across Hamirpur and Kangra districts,<br/>revealing that 74.81% of these plants are non-operational. Key reasons include inadequate cattle populations,<br/>lack of interest and constructional issues. Classification<br/>and regression tree (CART) model was used to identify<br/>the reasons and found that inadequate cattle population, coupled with socio-economic factors like declining<br/>interest and migration were primary barriers to sustained biogas plant functionality. These findings highlight<br/>the urgent need for targeted interventions, including<br/>technological upgrades and policy reforms, to enhance<br/>biogas plant sustainability and foster rural energy resilience in hilly terrains. By addressing these challenges,<br/>Himachal Pradesh can harness its rich agricultural resources more effectively, thereby advancing towards a<br/>greener and more sustainable energy future and informing policymakers on enhancing biogas technology’s effectiveness in addressing energy poverty and<br/>promoting sustainable practices in rural communities. |
