Abstract
nergy consumption in Saudi Arabia (KSA) is growing rapidly due to the high living standards, population
growth and urbanization rates. KSA has planned for the development and use of biomass renewable
energy sources, which are available abundantly, carbon-neutral and climate mitigation source. The main
purpose of this review article is to analyze and discuss the challenges and opportunities of Camel
Manure (CM) as an effective management of the livestock waste, and its potential development in the
management of biomass and energy technology (BETM). The trends in the camel population growth projected
at approximately 1.6 million camels in the Arab Peninsula and approximately 53% of the total in KSA with
untapped manure falling along with the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) making them ideal for energy extractions
and applications in remote and rural areas. Research is needed to assess camel manure resources (supply and
demand), the technology scope for economic, energy capacity and application evaluation to fill energy potential
and challenges applications for KSA.
