"Barriers and constraints facing the application of biomass resources (Livestock Residues) in rural areas of Iran, Case Study: Tehran Province"

In recent years, the application of availablepotential of biomass resources (animal wastes) in rural areas has been largely considered by the researchers. However, thenumerousreasons have caused that theirapplication not to be developed sufficientlyinrural areasand not have a proper status among otherenergies. This study provides the detailed barriers and constraints facing the application of biomass resources (animal wastes) in rural areas by understanding the importance of this issueand with the aim to identify the most important factors according to different viewpoints and aspects and through investigating the domestic and foreign studies. Based on the results of this study, the lack ofdeliberate andaccurateinfrastructural planning in terms ofinfrastructural challenge, the lack ofprospectivesystemin Active Nano/Bio organizationsin terms of managerial challenge,the lack of possibility to conduct thecommon projects with the world in terms of cultural-social challenge, and the lack oftendency towards the long-term investment in terms of economic challenge allocatethe first ranks in the field of challenges facing the commercialization of new products.
