Abstract
Biogas production within wastewater treatment plants plays a decisive role in the water–energy nexus. Biogas obtained from sewage sludge digestion can be converted into biomethane as CO2 emissions are reduced. Techno-economic assessment of the process is presented. Anodic valorization through chlorine production is performed. Potential impacts of this technology in a wastewater treatment plant are discussed.
