Biogas Production, 1st ed. 2020 From Anaerobic Digestion to a Sustainable Bioenergy Industry
Coordonnateurs : Balagurusamy Nagamani, Chandel Anuj Kumar
This book focuses on biogas production by anaerobic digestion, which is the most popular bioenergy technology of today. Using anaerobic digestion for the production of biogas is a sustainable approach that simultaneously also allows the treatment of organic waste. The energy contained in the substrate is released in the form of biogas, which can be employed as a renewable fuel in diverse industrial sectors.
Although biogas generation is considered an established process, it continues to evolve, e.g. by incorporating modifications and improvements to increase its efficiency and its downstream applications. The chapters of this book review the progress made related to feedstock, system configuration and operational conditions. It also addresses microbial pathways utilized, as well as storage, transportation and usage of biogas.
This book is an up-to-date resource for scientists and students working on improving biogas production.
