“…Hasanov et al (2023) [118] proposed biogas production as a pivotal solution for energy supply, offering a means to mitigate the detrimental effects of fossil fuel consumption, as the burning of these fuels has substantially elevated CO 2 and other GHG concentrations in the atmosphere since the industrial era's onset [119], exerting a profound influence on climate change. Azerbaijan takes this issue in particular into account [120].…”

As the global demand for renewable energy continues to rise, biogas production has emerged as a promising solution for sustainable energy generation. This review article presents the advantages of biogas technologies (mainly agricultural, based on waste of animal and plant origin) and extensively discusses the main principles of biogas production in the anaerobic digestion (AD). In this respect, the main parameters of the process, which require monitoring and decisive for its efficiency are described, therefore: temperature, pH value, retention time and organic loading rate (OLR). The principles of substrate selection are also discussed and the necessity and advantages of the use of organic waste according to the model of a circular economy and the concept of sustainable development, are indicated. It is emphasized that according to the new European regulations, the crops classified as food cannot be considered energy crops. The part on biogas production is summarised with an explanation of the necessity to treat and purify biogas. Biogas purification is important from the point of view of the efficiency of its conversion into electricity. A special place in this paper is devoted to the design, construction, functioning and operation of biogas plants, based on both scientific and practical aspects. In conclusion of this chapter, the economic aspects and profitability of operating biogas plants are discussed. Cost and benefit analyses are the major tool used for the systematic evaluation of the financial costs and potential benefits associated with the operation of biogas plants. The important fact is that the return on investment can be achieved within a few years, provided the activities are well-planned and executed. In addition to the fundamental issues of the operation of biogas plants, this article presents the global situation regarding the development of biogas plants, discussing in detail the specific needs and limitations on different continents. It is a interesting and extensive part of this article. The global agricultural biogas market is at very different levels of development. Most such installations are located in Asia and Europe. China has the highest number of biogas plants, with more than 100,000 biogas plants, followed by Germany with over 10,000 plants. In addition to the 100,000 biogas plants, China also has a large number of household biogas units, which gives a total of approx. 40 million operating units. The article concludes with a discussion of opportunities and barriers to the development of biogas plants, pointing to: financial issues, access to feedstock, political regulations, public awareness and the geopolitical situation. The most frequently cited reasons for investment failure include economic problems, lack of professional knowledge.

“…32 Gurbanov investigated the effect of natural gas consumption on carbon emissions in Azerbaijan and discovered that increasing the proportion of natural gas in the energy mix reduces CO 2 emissions. 33 However, Azad et al investigated the relationship between energy consumption and CO 2 emissions in Bangladesh. And their study proposed that while natural gas use increases CO 2 emissions and contributes less than petroleum products.…”

The world is stepping forward to a carbon-neutral economic system in response to the rising issues caused by climate change. Fossil fuel combustion is the primary source of increased carbon emissions, energy mix adjustment is critical to climate change mitigation and the carbon neutrality goal. This study investigates the different responses to energy sources’ economic growth and environmental sustainability using balanced panel data from 34 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries during 1995–2019. This study uses oil, natural gas, and renewable energy to represent traditional, emerging alternative fossil, and green energy sources, respectively. Results show that renewable energy, oil, and natural gas all impose impacts on economic growth, however, renewable energy contributes more than oil and natural gas. Furthermore, there is a significant inverse relationship between the amount of renewable energy produced and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. While both natural gas and oil have a positive effect on CO2 emissions, the effect of natural gas is much smaller than that of oil. Furthermore, the causality investigation reveals that renewable energy, oil, and natural gas all show impacts on carbon emissions but do not contribute to economic growth. These findings suggest that increasing investment in renewable energy, with natural gas playing the role of a transitional replacement for oil, will contribute to the “carbon neutrality” process of these countries.

“…A distributed energy system is considered energy efficient and ecofriendly [17]. Gurbanov et al analyzed the role of natural gas consumption in the reduction of CO 2 emissions in Azerbaijan, and the results showed that when the share of natural gas increases by 1 percent in the total energy mix, CO 2 emission per capita decreases by approximately 0.14 percent [18]. Broesicke et al [19] found that the decentralized natural gas power generation system decreased conventional air pollutant emissions and natural gas consumption relative to the centralized system.…”

Research on the Integration of a Natural Gas-Distributed Energy System into the Oilfield Facility in China

The oilfield facility provides a sufficient supply of self-produced natural gas and has an obvious price advantage. However, China’s oilfield facilities are supplied with electricity and heat from the external grid and natural gas boilers separately. Therefore, in this study, a natural gas distributed energy saving system is built in the oilfield facility, which can supply electricity and heating simultaneously. An oilfield facility in Changchun, China, is used as the case study in this research to design a natural gas-distributed energy system. The operational carbon emissions and the operating cost are used as evaluation criteria. Three energy supply methods of the natural gas-distributed energy system are studied. Meanwhile, the impacts of China’s distributed energy policy are also quantified to determine the capacity of the power generation units. The results reveal that under the optimized following the heating load method (FHL-restricted), where the self-electricity consumption ratio of the gas engine is kept at 50%, the natural gas-distributed energy systems can meet policy requirements while achieving optimal carbon emission reductions and minimizing operating costs. The newly built system can simultaneously achieve the goals of energy saving, carbon emission reduction, and energy cost mitigation.
