anaerobic digestion research centers

Anaerobic digestion research centers focus on studying the process in which microorganisms break down organic materials, like food waste and agricultural residues, without oxygen. This process produces biogas, which can be used as renewable energy, and digestate, a nutrient-rich fertilizer. These centers explore ways to improve efficiency, enhance the quality of biogas, and develop innovative applications for the by-products. By researching anaerobic digestion, they contribute to sustainable waste management, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote the use of clean energy sources. Their work supports environmental sustainability and the circular economy.
