The major problems of public health, environmental impact, and energy dependence due to conventional fuels can be solved by using biogas from biodigesters. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to evaluate the energy potential of using biogas in the replacement of firewood and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). For the biogas production, Indian model batch digesters were used in a batch supply system. Those were supplied with 100: 0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100 sewage sludge: cattle manure (SS:CM). The calculation of the energy conversion was based on the accumulated biogas production, biogas production potential, the amount of waste produced by dairy cattle in a rural property and the equivalence of one cubic meter of gas with wood and LPG. In general, the adoption of biodigesters in rural properties to generate biogas for thermal energy consists of a viable and sustainable technology, regardless of the number of animals in the property. The use of sewage sludge antecipated biogas production, with the highest biogas production potential being 25:75 SS:CM. The financial savings obtained by the owner and /or community when installing a biodigester can be invested in the rural property. Therefore, it is concluded that there is a feasibility to replace firewood and LPG with biogas.

Cattle manure has an energy potential that is unknown to farmers. In the rural areas of the city of Latacunga - Ecuador there are inconveniences for the transport of the G.L. (Liquefied Petroleum Gas). For this reason, this document shows the implementation of a biodigester to obtain biogas for domestic use at Hacienda Terán located in La Dolorosa Belisario Quevedo, the cattle manure is analyzed, obtaining 13.7% of total solids. In addition, it was established that 100 kg of mixture with the quantification of manure in a period of 12 days. In order to maintain the elevated temperature a greenhouse was built obtaining an average of 28.48°C in a time for the generation of biogas in 30 days and a minimum temperature of 22.7°C. Temperatures that are within the limits established for the generation of biogas. With these parameters. a 4.25 m3 bio-bag was dimensioned generating a production of 1.1 m3 of gas that satisfies the family use of 0.7 m3 Biogas and G.L.P. firing tests were carried out up to 80° C obtaining a calorific value of 4800 kcal. per m3.

The purpose of this paper was to estimate biomass and by-products from plant production (straw, hay, natural fertilizer) in Lubelskie province, as well as demonstrate energy potential possible to obtain from maize as a co-substrate for biogas production. The estimates and related assumptions show that this region has a high energy potential amounting to 26 966.6 TJ/year, which can be gain from biomass and by-products from plant production. The area also possesses significant sources of potential for agricultural biogas production and can provide 195 350.8 dam3/year biogas, which may be converted into thermal energy – 5586.4 TJ/year or electricity – 1241 GWh/year.

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine biogas amount and the energy value produced from animal manure in Samsun province, Turkey. For this purpose, biogas potential was calculated considering the number of cattle, buffalo and laying hens in the province. Samsun has a total of about 300 thousand cattle, 18 thousand buffalo, and 1.4 million laying hens. From these animals in the province, 2.95 million t of cattle manure, 178 thousand t of buffalo manure, and 40 thousand t of laying hens manure, including the total of 3.2 Mt of manure per year is obtained. Annually, 53.6 Mm3 of biogas can be produced from the usable amount of this manure. The heating value of biogas produced from this manure is about 1.22 PJ. The electricity production from this biogas is about 135 GWhel. These values can provide 4.96% of Samsun’s annual electrical energy consumption (2720 GWhel). The distribution of these calculated amounts by districts was mapped. When districts are listed according to the biogas production amount, the top seven Samsun districts are Bafra (16.2%), Center (16.0%), Carsamba (12.1%), Vezirkopru (11.0%), Terme (7.6%), Alacam (7.4%) and Havza (7.0%).

Abstract The Slovak spirits industry has a stable position within the alcoholic beverages industry in the Slovak Republic. However, its production process causes significant environmental stress on nature. The industry can use roughly only 10% of the raw materials. This means a significant amount of waste is produced during the distillation process. We investigated the biogas production potential within the Slovak distilleries producing spirits for final consumption when we compared the production of spirits between the years 2010 and 2019. Biogas production potential is calculated as an ideal situation when all spent wash from spirits producing distilleries is used for biogas production. The potential energy gain is also calculated in kWh based on the already available research in the field of biogas production. We conducted that the total biogas potential of the Slovak spirits industry could reach 15,886,053 kWh in terms of electricity and 22,946,177 kWh in terms of heat energy if we calculate energy potential according to the spirits production in the year 2019. The total combined energy potential generated during the reuse of waste from distilleries could reach 38,832,230 kWh. The biogas production in these facilities has also a positive side effect. If distilleries use the heat energy for the distillation process, the amount of greenhouse emissions will also be declining.
