anaerobic processes

Anaerobic processes are biological reactions that occur without oxygen. Microorganisms, like bacteria, break down organic materials—such as waste or plant matter—in environments lacking oxygen. This process is used in nature and industrial applications, like composting and wastewater treatment, to produce biogas (methane) and stabilize waste. Because it doesn't require oxygen, it often takes place in sealed or oxygen-free environments. These processes are vital for recycling nutrients, managing waste sustainably, and generating renewable energy.
