TL;DR: The determination of methane potentials is a biological method subject to relatively large variation due to the use of non-standardized inoculum and waste heterogeneity, therefore, procedures for addressing repeatability and reproducibility are suggested.

TL;DR: In this paper, thermal pre-treatment of waste activated sludge samples with COD solubilisation was carried out to analyze the impact of thermal pre treatment on the performance of sludge anaerobic digestion.
528 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a review aims to examine the state-of-the-art of food waste fermentation technologies for renewable energy generation, which can be used as a useful resource for production of biofuel through various fermentation processes.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the impacts generated by the production of methane from microalgae are strongly correlated with the electric consumption, which strongly competes with others biofuel productions.

TL;DR: In this article, anaerobic digestion of energy crops and organic wastes is used to produce a clean fuel from renewable feedstocks, which would replace fossil fuel-derived energy and reduce environmental impacts including global warming and acid rain.
Abstract: Production of methane via anaerobic digestion of energy crops and organic wastes would benefit society by providing a clean fuel from renewable feedstocks. This would replace fossil fuel-derived energy and reduce environmental impacts including global warming and acid rain. Although biomass energy is more costly than fossil fuel-derived energy, trends to limit carbon dioxide and other emissions through emission regulations, carbon taxes, and subsidies of biomass energy would make it cost competitive. Methane derived from anaerobic digestion is competitive in eAciencies and costs to other biomass energy forms including heat, synthesis gases, and ethanol. 7 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
