OPTIMIZATION OF THE BIOGAS PRODUCTION IN THE ROMANIAN FARMS CONDITIONS

Abstract

In the paper there are presented the results of the BIOGEF research project that was carried on by and integrate team and was focus on the biogas production in the small medium farms conditions. Anaerobic digestion provides possibilities to produce renewable energy from organic wastes in decentralized sites, producing a methane rich biogas from manure (human and animal) and crop residues. Apart from supplying renewable energy the biogas plants have other positive effects including the strengthening of closed loop recycling management systems, reducing emissions from manure storage and producing a valuable organic fertilizer. It can also create new sources of income for farmers.
