Abstract: Biodegradable fraction of waste is generally recognized as a sustainable source for renewable energy production and anaerobic digestion (AD) is the most used process for this purpose. The majority of AD facilities currently operating in the EU28 are equipped with gas engines fuelled by the biogas for production of electrical energy. There is growing interest in other energy recovery options whose implementation will rise significantly in the near future.
