Review on Biochemistry of Biogas Generation
Keywords:
Keywords: Anaerobic, Biogas, Biochemical Process, DigestionAbstract
Anaerobic digestion or anaerobic biodegradation is regarded as the complex biochemical and biological activities accomplished through the collaboration of various bacterial species. Its outcome is "biogas", mostly comprised of methane and carbon dioxide that can be applied as fuel, electricity and cooking gas to reduce greenhouse gas emission introducing cost-efficient renewable technology for social economics. Through an anaerobic digestion process, several biological steps and various kinds of bacteria are introduced simultaneously. Therefore, Effective control systems and monitoring are necessary to optimize the process and achieve the desired biogas yields. This literature review introduced the basic background of the biochemical process of anaerobic digestion to catch desired biogas yields. Moreover, Life cycle assessments of biogas in order to attain decreased CO2 foot print will be mentioned. Based on the existing knowledge, the composition of complex biopolymers in various feedstock impacts the biogas yields especially the highest fat and protein embrace longer lag time than high carbohydrate in substrates.
