biorefinery, bioenergy, circular economy, feedstockAbstract
The irrational use of fossil fuels and climate change commitments make it necessary to look for alternative sources of energy production. Bioenergy is seen as a renewable source that offers a promising solution to the energy crisis due to its environmental benefits. Among the different forms of bioenergy, biogas from anaerobic digestion stands out. Several studies report that anaerobic digestion is an efficient alternative technology for biogas production. Biogas is a sustainable energy carrier with high market potential due to the large availability of biomass for its production. This article aims to provide an overview of the biogas landscape. Consequently, this paper presents a thorough review of the main parameters affecting biogas production and the different feedstocks for biogas production. Although biogas is an optimal substitute for fossil fuels, it’s not yet the perfect solution to climate change, and studies and research are needed that focus on economic, environmental and political aspects.
