Application of Biogas: Review

  • Alok Kumar Mishra

Abstract

The processing of biogas is a well-established technique, mainly in the production of renewable energy and also for the recycling of organic waste. Biogas is the end result of the so-called anaerobic digestion process, a biological controlled method wherein various microorganisms adopt various metabolic processes to decompose organic material. The system has been recognized for centuries and has been commonly used for centuries to domestic households that provide heat and electricity. Today, the biogas industry is increasing increasingly and recent achievements are paving the foundations for developing biogas plants as advanced bio-energy plants.In this case, the idea of a circular economy promoting fertiliser recovery, greenhouse gas emission mitigation and bio-refinery purposes is based on biogas plants. This study outlines the existing state-of-the-art and provides potential prospects for biogas development relevant to the anaerobic digestion process. In addition, a historical retrospective of the biogas industry from the early years of its growth to recent progress offers an outline of the prospects that are opening up for process optimization.
