Abstract
In recent years, researchers have focused on developing alternative fuels derived from bioresources. The aim of these efforts is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint. Biogas is a renewable, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive energy source that has the potential to help achieve this goal. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a significant method for creating biogas in the absence of oxygen. It involves the activities of bacterial consortiums. However, increasing the quality of biogas is essential to meet the requirements of potential consumption regions. The efficiency of upgrading technologies is evaluated based on several criteria, such as operation and maintenance expenses, investment cost, methane recovery, and methane loss. Although membrane technology has lower operating and maintenance expenses compared to chemical absorption technology, it requires significant investment costs. This study aims to comprehensively assess the various technologies available for the production, upgrading, and usage of biogas. It also offers a framework that matches the required quality of biogas for every potential usage region to the necessary upgrading technologies. Additionally, it investigates future work related to the production, upgrading, and consumption of biogas, as well as government regulations that may facilitate the implementation of this work.
