Natural and Synthetic Microbial Communities for Sustainable Production of Optimised Biogas Ghent University
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic matter is a robust technology for biogas synthesis from different types of waste (sewage sludge from water treatment, animal slurry, bio-waste, etc.). The main goal of AD is the production of methane, a renewable energy source that can be used to generate electricity, heat or as vehicle fuel. Biogas is a mixture of methane (CH4; 55– 70% of the total volume), carbon dioxide (CO2; 30–40%) and traces of other ...
