A vegetable waste biogas plant, also known as an anaerobic digestion plant or biogas facility, is a facility that utilizes organic waste from vegetables or other sources to produce biogas through a process called anaerobic digestion. This process involves breaking down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, resulting in the production of biogas, primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide.
Anaerobic digestion is a biological process where microorganisms break down organic materials in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas as a by-product. In the biogas plant, vegetable waste is placed in an anaerobic digester, where it undergoes decomposition by bacteria, resulting in the production of methane and carbon dioxide gases, which are collected as biogas.
