Innovations in the Global Biogas industry: Applications of Green Principles
S Matambo, Tonderayi
Christian, Riann
Innovations in the Global Biogas Industry: Applications of Green Principles critically reviews the whole biogas supply chain from substrates to upgraded biogas. The book evaluates the application of green principles at each stage of biogas production and combines this with case studies and a review of the latest technological advances to produce a comprehensive assessment of the current state of the biogas industry. The first three sections of the book guide the reader through the whole supply chain of biogas production, from feedstock and waste management, to process design, plant design, operation, optimization, and end products. The sustainability of biogas industry operations is then addressed in-depth through a lifecycle assessment, alongside the techno-economics and safety considerations. Each section considers small-, medium-, and large-scale biogas plant related developments, and how green principles are applied at each scale. Finally, the critical element of biogas industry stakeholders is explored, which discusses financing mechanisms, policies and regulations, global markets, and governance issues relating to the biogas sector. Presents recent innovations in the biogas industry, with an emphasis on the sustainability of anaerobic digestion applicationsAnalyzes anaerobic digestion from various angles, from feedstock management to the integration of green and sustainability principles in biogas applicationsAssesses the whole supply chain of biogas production, including plant design and operation, substrate to product issues as well as techno-economics and safety considerationsIncludes small-, medium- and large-scale biogas plant related developmentsAddresses the topic of stakeholder issues in the biogas industry INDICE: Section 1 Green advancements in organic waste management - AD Feedstock Management1.
