With pressure increasing to utilise wastes and residues effectively and sustainably, the creation of biogas represents probably the most important routes towards reaching national and international renewable energy targets. Finally, component three discusses international knowledge and greatest practice in biogas utilisation.

Carrying out a concise summary of biogas as a power option, component one explores biomass assets and fundamental technology and engineering of biogas creation, which includes feedstock characterisation, storage space and pre-treatment, and yield optimisation. Plant style, engineering, procedure optimisation and digestate utilisation will be the focus of component two. Topics considered are the engineering and procedure control of biogas vegetation, methane emissions in biogas creation, and biogas digestate quality, utilisation and land program. The biogas handbook: Technology, production and applications offers a extensive and systematic help to the advancement and deployment of biogas source chains and technology. Biogas washing and upgrading to biomethane, biomethane make use of as transport energy and the era of warmth and power from biogas for stationery applications are discussed.
  • Offers a concise summary of biogas as a power choice
  • Explores biomass assets for creation
  • Examines plant style and engineering and procedure optimisation


Using its distinguished editors and worldwide team of professional contributors, The biogas handbook: Science, creation and applications is normally a practical mention of biogas technology for procedure engineers, manufacturers, commercial chemists and biochemists, researchers, researchers and academics employed in this field. The publication concludes with an assessment of market advancement and biomethane certification schemes.
