| dc.description | Biogas production from organic waste dates back to 3000 years ago. Facts have been developed, which shows the usage of biogas in both Assyria in the 10th century and Persia in the 16th century. Although, acceptance of organic waste as a basis of renewable energy was achieved in 1808 by Davy, who recorded the methane produced during the breakdown of live stocks manure. The first physical use of biogas for energy creation occur in 1896 in England when biogas formed from the digestion of sewage sludge was used to fuel street lights. | |
| dc.description.abstract | In the study of the environmental effect of biogas production, it is essential to identify the main constituents of the biogas with a special interest biogas process system. This paper reviews the formation processes of biogas production. In this paper, the roles of biogas application were discussed to make them more suitable to the environment and human activities. Furthermore, questions related to the disposal and management of wastes which leads to serious environmental and global concerns were addressed. Although these wastes offer abundant resources: large proportions of the wastes are biodegradable materials and can be efficiently used in producing biogas, which can serve as an answer to the greenhouse gas problem but also inappropriate controlling of the wastes will lead to the rise of greenhouse gas in the environment. | |
