Biogas Production: Processes and Technologies

This lecture covers the process of anaerobic digestion, including the four phases of biomass conversion to biogas: hydrolysis, acidification, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis. It explains the role of different bacteria in breaking down complex organic compounds into biogas components. The lecture also discusses the factors affecting methane formation, the quality and quantity of biogas, and the control parameters involved in biogas production. Additionally, it explores the impact of temperature on the digestion process, the types of feedstock suitable for biogas production, and the utilization and upgrade of biogas for various applications.
