Keywords
Anaerobic digestion, biogas, food waste, organic biodegradable substrates
The presented contribution deals with laboratory testing of biodegradable municipal organic substrates for biogas production. The anaerobic fermentation and biogas production from biodegradable organic substrates such as expired wine, beer, bread, meat and dairy products, food oils and fats, were tested in the laboratory anaerobic models.
INTRODUCTION
According to Green Paper on the management of bio-waste in the European Union
SEC(2008)2936 bio-waste is defined as biodegradable garden and park waste, food and kitchen waste from households, restaurants, caterers and retail premises, and comparable waste from food processing plants. Anaerobic digestion is especially suitable for treating kitchen waste. It produces a gas mixture (mainly methane – 50 to 75 % - and carbon dioxide) in controlled reactors. Biogas can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions most significantly if used as biofuel for transport or directly
