Abstract

The energy demand is increasing constantly, it is important to have enough energy resources, so that it would be available to each people. But poor quality energy may trouble the environment, so it is equally important to acquire the good quality of energy. One unit of high-quality energy can be more useful than three units of lower-quality energy. Regularly using these poor quality energies may promote global warming, which may affect the environment badly. Biogas may act as an alternative for the energy calamity and it can be produced by digesting the waste an aerobically, that is in the absence of oxygen and it will produce the mixture of gases with methane in the highest amount of about 60%. Anaerobic digestion not only produces methane in the good amount but also produces liquid residuum that can be used as a fertilizer in the agricultural department. Instead of presuming waste as a waste and using it in a reasonable manner may fill the gaps in the energy crisis.
