Abstract

Organic wastes, abundant in biodegradable components, emerge as a compelling solution for generating sustainable bio energy. Biogas, a product of anaerobic digestion (AD) applied to organic waste, offers a viable alternative with a calorific value ranging from 21 to 25 MJ/m3. It serves as an excellent substitute for fossil-derived fuels and natural gas, while concurrently contributing to a remarkable reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by more than 80%. Nevertheless, it's crucial to acknowledge the challenges associated with the accumulation of ammonia during the AD process. This issue can lead to a decrease in biomass hydrolysis efficiency and methane formation, thus posing significant limitations to the industrial applicability of AD technology. Addressing these challenges is pivotal in advancing the viability of sustainable bio energy production from organic waste.
