TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the actual context of anaerobic digestion within the sugarcane ethanol production in Brazil, presenting the main obstacles for its full application and the directions to promote it as well.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated vinasse anaerobic digestion in a sugarcane biorefinery in terms of energy, environmental, and economic considerations, and found that the energy potential of a single biorefa-finery is comparable to the electricity supply demand of a city of approximately 130,000 inhabitants or to the surplus energy from bagasse burning that is exported by some sugar cane mills in Brazil.

TL;DR: In this article, a broader view on the possible applications of anaerobic treatment systems not only for organic matter removal but also for resources recovery aiming at the improvement of the sustainability of domestic sewage treatment (DST).

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of different seed sludge sources and pretreatment methods on bio-hydrogen production in up-flow anaerobic fixed-bed reactors fed with sucrose was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, an upflow anaerobic packed bed reactor configuration to produce hydrogen using cheese whey as the substrate was tested, and the microbiological composition was linked to the reactor operation.
