Abstract: This article discusses regional strategies for implementing methane fermentation technology in waste management, considering environmental, technological, and social perspectives. Methane fermentation plays a crucial role in modern waste management and renewable energy production. The article highlights the importance of local climatic, economic, and social conditions that affect the efficiency and profitability of biogas installations. Both barriers and opportunities for technology development in various regions are analyzed, particularly in terms of raw material availability, regulatory support, and social acceptance. Examples of biogas technology applications in different countries are provided, identifying key success factors. The article offers valuable insights for decision-makers responsible for designing and implementing methane fermentation systems, taking into account diverse regional conditions and local needs.
