Biomethanation

Biomethanation is a process by which organic material is microbiologically converted under anaerobic conditions to biogas.

◾️ Three main physiological groups of microorganisms are involved: fermenting bacteria, organic acid oxidizing bacteria, and methanogenic archaea.

◾️ Biomethanation has strong potential for the production of energy from organic residues and wastes.

◾️ It will help to reduce the use of fossil fuels and thus reduce CO(2) emission.
