Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In view of climate change, the use of renewable energies is a high-priority area of research. Biogas plays an important role in this field as a renewable energy source that can generate energy from organic residues and waste.
The expansive development of technology to enhance the efficient use of substrates, among other things, is crucial in this regard. Additionally, the development and adaptation of technologies to the specific conditions at each location is a fundamental criterion.
We cordially invite researchers to contribute novel, pioneering research on the theme of "Innovations in Methane Production from Anaerobic Digestion" to support these critical developments.
Dr. Benedikt Hülsemann
Guest Editor
