Biomass energy is a reliable source of energy that can solve the many problems faced by rice farmers in Mekong Delta district of Vietnam. People in the region are faced with various problems, which are mostly related to the environment hence the government needs to come up with a permanent solution that would solve their problems.
In a developing country such as Vietnam, cheap source of energy would be required since it would boost the productivity of citizens, as well as government. The Bio mass source of energy is expensive to establish but its maintenance costs are cheap. The source of energy is usually developed using natural products such as trees, agricultural crops and oil seeds.
This means that it has both advantages and disadvantages over other sources of energy such as electricity. Some of the advantages include renewability, availability, disposability, usability by plants due to its production of carbon dioxide and employability. However, some disadvantages including the initial cost, pollution, it is complex and durability is associated with it.
The community would benefit from the strategy in case the government adopts the project to invest in biogas energy. This would reduce the rates of poverty in rural areas and the living standards of people would go up. Despite the initial installment costs, the state can utilize the new technology to protect the environment and provide energy to the locals.

Fuel ethanol is manufactured from non-foodstuff biomass resources• It demands for “new” knowledge for it to be developed. The first step entails crushing (hydrolyzing) roughage and hemicelluloses to starch. This would facilitate fermentation of unusual sugars in biomass.

Biogas generates some profits to the bionetwork, reduces deforestation, re-uses desecrate materials, has less smoke, manufactures organic fertilizer, and produces better foods when used as fertilizer.
