anaerobic digestion systems

Anaerobic digestion is a natural process that breaks down organic materials—like food scraps and animal waste—without oxygen. In a controlled environment, microbes digest these materials, producing biogas (mostly methane) and digestate (a nutrient-rich byproduct). The biogas can be used for electricity, heating, or as vehicle fuel, while the digestate can serve as fertilizer. This process helps reduce waste, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and provide renewable energy, making it an effective solution for waste management and sustainable energy production.
