Organic waste potential for biogas production

Abstract

In this scientific work we have analyzed biogas production from organic waste, in compliance with an acute need to reduce the consumption of traditional energy resources. The purpose of the work was to determine the appropriateness of the use of widespread organic waste for biogas production. The prospects of using waste for biogas production have been confirmed. Among the investigated organic wastes the potato peelings, corn waste and fallen leaves were found to be the most productive in relation to the biogas yield. This method is environmentally safe, and gives the possibility to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, such as methane, into the atmosphere.
