Abstract

In recent years, the interest in renewable energy has grown, driven by the increasing concern about global warming issues, energy security, resource recovery and the high production and disposal of organic solid wastes. Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) combines different organic substrates to generate a homogeneous mixture as input to the reactor. AcoD offers several ecological, technological, and economical advantages for the management of solid waste.
