Using Agricultural Biomass and Organic Wastes
Redaktion: Korres, Nicholas; West, Jonathan S.; Benzie, John A. H.; O'Kiely, Padraig

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Interest in anaerobic digestion has increased rapidly in recent years. This book is one of the first to provide a broad introduction to anaerobic digestion and its potential as a viable means to turn agricultural crops or crop residues, animal and other organic waste, into biomethane.
