Biogas in the Circular Economy: Technology, Production and Applications


Add your own review!

Overview

Biogas in the Circular Economy: Technology, Production and Applications explains biogas technology in the context of a circular economy, allowing for zero waste by valorizing digestate (residue) in a sustainable way. The book begins by discussing anaerobic digestion for biomethane production, including feedstocks, pre-treatments, innovative technologies, and the use of artificial intelligence in anaerobic digestion. Subsequent chapters present the latest technologies in biogas separation, purification, in-situ upgrading, and valorization of digestates in a circular economy context, namely as biofertilizers and energy recovery by thermochemical conversions. Carbon neutrality and challenges in biogas are discussed with the support of case studies. This new volume in the Woodhead Series in Bioenergy enables the reader to understand how biogas technology can be utilized to reach circular economy objectives. It will be valuable to all those with an interest in biogas technology, bioenergy, and bioeconomy, including researchers, advanced students, faculty, engineers, scientists, R&D, industry practitioners, and policymakers.

Author Information

Dr. Hassan El Bari has been a Professor at Ibn Tofail University in Morocco since 1988. He obtained his PhD in Materials Science from INPL (France) in 1987 and also has a ""Doctorat d’Etat"" in Mechanical Engineering from the University Mohamed V in Morocco, received in 1998. He is the president of the Moroccan Association of Solid Waste. He was Master Degree Coordinator: Waste Management and Recovery (2010–2014) and Member of the International Solid Waste Association (2004-2014). He has been involved in many funded projects as a coordinator and partner, and has significant experience in teaching solid waste management, biomass and bioenergy, and anaerobic digestion technology. Prof. El Bari is an associate editor of the Cleaner Waste Systems Journal (Elsevier) and guest lecturer at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. He has authored or co-authored several book chapters and edited or co-edited 3 books. Abdellatif Barakat is a Director Researcher in Green Chemistry and Valorization of Biomass at INRAE, JRU of Agropolymer Engineering and Emerging Technologies (IATE), Montpellier, France, which focuses on dry fractionation and bioconversion of agro-resources and waste, biofuels, anaerobic digestion, digestate valorization, pyrolysis, biofertilizers and molecules of interest. His current research interests include valorization of biomass for bioenergy production, pretreatments, extraction of biopolymers, and biofertilizers formulation. He received his PhD in Chemistry and Physicochemical of Biopolymers from Reims University in 2007, and has previously held several postdoc positions, including at the Laboratory of Biotechnologies of the Environment (LBE, INRA) and at the Institut Charles Gerhardt (MACS, CNRS). Dr. Barakat has published over 120 papers in international journals, 4 patents, and 6 book chapters.
