“…For many years, sugar beets have been known as a high-energy source of biogas production in the methane fermentation process. However, the cost of supply, as in the case of silage maize discussed above, has made them an unprofitable substrate despite the high yield from field and good production of methane [Rajaeifar et al, 2019].…”

The amendment to the Polish Renewable Energy Act creates great opportunities for the development of the biogas market in Poland. Years of experience in biogas production in Western Europe and the development of biogas installations in Poland indicate the requirement to look for alternative substrates to those produced from dedicated crop production (mainly maize silage). Feasible solutions include the use of biodegradable waste from agriculture or industry as well as municipal landfill sites. The usage of these substrates in the methane fermentation process offers low cost, high biogas production and the safe management of biowaste. The arguments for using them in biogas installations are persuasive. This article presents new approaches of biogas plant installation solutions which allows for the effective fermentation of biowaste from animal and vegetable production, from the agro-food industry and from municipal waste.

“…Sugar production relies on sugar cane and sugar beet as main crops with a global cultivable area of 6.232 Mio ha. Sugar cane and sugar beet hereby cover 1.762 and 4.47 Mio ha, respectively (Chunhawong et al, 2018;Rajaeifar et al, 2019). While in subtropical and tropical regions sugar originates from sugar cane, sugar is based on corn, wheat, or sugar beet in the rest of the world.…”

The food and beverage industry offers a wide range of organic feedstocks for use in biogas production by means of anaerobic digestion (AD). Microorganisms convert organic compounds-solid, pasty, or liquid ones-within four steps to biogas mainly consisting of CH 4 and CO 2. Therefore, various conversion technologies are available with several examples worldwide to show for the successful implementation of biogas technologies on site. The food and beverage industry offer a huge potential for biogas technologies due to the sheer amount of process residues and their concurrent requirement for heat and power. The following study analyzes specific industries with respect to their implementation potential based on arising waste and heat and power demand. Due to their chemical composition, several feedstocks are resistant against microbiological degradation to a great extent. A combination of physical-, chemical-, and microbiological pretreatment are used to increase the biological availability of the feedstock. The following examples will discuss how to best implement AD technology in industrial processes. The brewery industry, dairy production, slaughterhouses, and sugar industry will serve as examples.

Lignocellulosic biomass is a highly available and suitable candidate for biogas/biomethane production. However, high concentration of recalcitrant lignin is the major obstacle in successful anaerobic digestion (AD). The main aim of this review is to highlight the applications and challenges of lignocellulosic biomass in AD from the recent reports. Potential approaches to improve instabilities in mesophilic AD process (such as microbial communities' development, co-digestion, biofilm carrier's addition, and essential nutrients supplement) were also reported. This review goes one more step deeper to discuss the key microbes involved in lignocellulosic biomass degradation. Biofilm carriers provide attached growth systems for microbes in AD and acts as redox mediators to accelerate the biotransformation of recalcitrant pollutants. Addition of nanoparticles (NPs) stimulate Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Methanosaeta, Methanobacterium, and Methanosarcina population which further improve biomethanation. The comprehensive study of these proposed strategies and microbial stimulation through additives would make the lignocellulosic biomethanation more feasible.
