Abstract
Sustainable waste management of biodegradable waste is one of the serious concerns in developing countries. The energy production from organic waste material by anaerobic digestion (AD) is environmentally sound, energy-efficient, and economical technology that degrades substrate, with minimum production of harmful metabolites, and reuse of its byproducts as bio-fertilizers. The use of small-scale biogas digesters in developing countries and industrial scale or integrated biogas digesters in developed countries has been operationally upgraded. These advancements in the application of AD processes are due to multiple factors, including the economic and environmental value of AD technology, and the dynamics of a range of policies and measures related to agricultural sector, waste control, and green energy production. However, compared to other waste management and energy generation methods, AD requires fewer resources and cost investment, and is therefore sustainable for waste control and energy production.
