Biogas: A Sustainable Approach for Renewable Energy provides a thorough and updated overview of biogas and biorefinery, emphasizing the circular economy. The book offers practical insights into operating biogas plants, including analytical techniques, operational parameters, and microbial community dynamics of biogas production. Readers gain a deep understanding of the optimal conditions for anaerobic digestion and fermentation processes. The main biomass feedstocks for biogas production, such as agricultural and livestock wastes, industrial waste feedstocks, sewage sludge, and microalgae, are explored. Additionally, the book delves into the latest biogas purification technologies for biomethane production and biogenic carbon dioxide extraction.

It offers chapters on techno-economic and life cycle analysis of biogas production, providing readers with new perspectives on developing future biogas projects. An overview of several operating full-scale biogas plants ensures a comprehensive understanding of the topics necessary for efficient biogas plant operations. Graduate and post-graduate students, researchers, scientists, policymakers, and industry practitioners will find this book invaluable and practical for biogas production implementation.

William Sganzerla holds a BSc in Chemical Engineering (2015 – 2019) and a PhD in Food Engineering (2020 – 2023). Currently, he works as “Project Manager Biogas at VORN Bioenergy GmbH (Regensburg, Germany) for the development of full-scale biomethane projects (agricultural and industrial) in Europe. His role include the development and management of new projects, from the initial project idea through to construction maturity, supporting the management board in strategic issues and contributing with creative ideas for the design of innovative biomethane projects. His expertise lies in the fields of techno-economic analysis, biomass pretreatment, anaerobic digestion, and bioenergy recovery. His research interests shifted towards the valorization of agri-food by-products for bioenergy production within the biorefinery concept. He is dedicated to proposing innovative and sustainable alternatives to produce bioenergy and value-added bioproducts from biomass by-products, focusing on anaerobic digestion. His research background brings a unique perspective to the task of pushing the boundaries of knowledge and exploring novel avenues that contribute to sustainable practices and the development of greener technologies. He has authored and published 85 papers in high-impact factor/peer-reviewed scientific journals, in addition to holding three patents in the field of by-products valorization.
