Overview
- Presents a new Anaerobic Digestion (AD) approach for producing hydrogen and methane in two subsequent stages and the transformation of traditional AD for producing biogases (methane and carbon dioxide) using organic materials such as energy crops or organic refuse obtained from the food chain
- Reviews the best results from the last decade on biohydrogen production by means of AD in order to understand how to proceed toward full-scale application
- Covers the analysis, design, and performance monitoring for a biohydrogen and biomethane production plant, focusing in particular on its energy sustainability with a novel engineering approach: EROI (energy return on investment) and EPT (energy payback time)
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology (GREEN)
