Renewable Energy Alternatives

Anaerobic digestion is a process where anaerobic bacteria break down organic material to produce biogas. This process occurs naturally in various environments and can be used in anaerobic digesters to treat and dispose of waste, generate biogas, and destroy pathogens. The biogas produced consists mainly of methane and carbon dioxide, with trace levels of other gases.
