Biogas potential on Long Island, New York: A quantification study

摘要: Biogas is the product of anaerobic digestion waste, whether occurring spontaneously in landfills or under controlled conditions digesters. viewed as an important energy source current efforts to reduce use fossil fuels and dependency on imported resources. Several studies assessment biogas potential have been made at regional, national, global scales. However, because it not economically feasible transport feedstock over long distances, more appropriate consider local waste sources for their produce biogas. An Long Island, based review landfills, wastewater treatment plants, solid generation management, agricultural found that 234 × 106 m3 methane (CH4) from might be harvestable, although substantial barriers complete exploitation exist. This number equivalent 2.52 TW-h electricity, approximately 12% fuel power ...
