Abstract

The reduction of CO2 emissions, large demand of fossil fuels and environmental issues are the reasons for studies to develop new technologies to obtain energy from biomass. More attention is being directed toward biological production of biogas using Anaerobic Digestion Processes. Biogas generating technology is a favourable dual purpose technology at present. Biogas typically refers to an odourless gas produced by Anaerobic Digestion (AD) of biomass using microorganisms. It has an approximate composition of 50-70% Methane (a combustible gas), 30-50% Carbon dioxide and other trace gases. Among other applications, the gas can be used for heating, cooking and electricity generation. Biogas production from anaerobic digestion is a promising technology for sustainable energy development.
