generate renewable energy in the form of electricity or heat with a
combined heat and power unit (CHP). The bio-fertilizer is pasteurized
to make it pathogen-free and can be applied twice in a year on farm-
land, by fruitfully replacing the fertilizers derived from fossil fuels. The
anaerobic digestion process occurs in multiple steps and involves a com-
munity of microorganisms, as follows:
Hydrolysis—complex polymers are broken down by hydrolytic
enzymes into simple sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids.
Acidogenesis—small monomers are broken down into volatile
fatty acids.
Acetogenesis—the products of acidogenesis are broken down
into acetic acid.
Methanogenesis—methane and carbon dioxide are produced.
The Table 9.5 depicts the summary of different waste materials, conver-
sion process, and their yield.
