Maximizing Biogas production with Post-treatment applications

Anaerobic digestion is a sustainable process that combines waste management, nutrient recycling and clean energy production. However, a significant portion of the feedstock’s energetic potential remains untapped in the digestate, resulting in suboptimal methane recovery and overall process efficiency.

This project proposes to evaluate the effect of post-treatments on digested materials from various feedstocks, as well as their cost-efficiency, through a systematic review and meta-analysis. The results will provide valuable insights for researchers, enabling them to optimize post-treatment research. Moreover, industry stakeholders, including equipment producers and technology developers, will be able to apply the project’s findings to develop more effective and commercially viable solutions.
