Anaerobic Digestion of Organic Waste for Bioenergy Production: Optimization, Performance, and Sustainability—A Review

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the most important technologies for converting organic waste into bioenergy, mostly in the form of biogas, and offers a wide range of environmental, economic, and public health benefits. This review provides a detailed description of the process of AD and its key biological phases, namely, hydrolysis, acidogenesis ...
