Preface
Thisbookisaboutbiogasproductionusinganaerobicdigestiontechnology,withan
emphasis on waste utilization/valorization. Biogas is arguably the most commer-
cialized type of biofuel. Nevertheless, there has been a renewed interest in biogas
production from waste-oriented feedstock worldwide and in particular in the
developing countries. A number of parameters including increasing energy
demands and worsening environmental conditions are among the main driving
factorsofthissurgeininterestinbiogas.Thepresentbook,whichisthesixbookin
the series on Biofuel and Biorefinery Technologies, offers a comprehensive refer-
ence guide to biogas production from different waste streams by internationally
recognized experts in the field of biogas production form both academia and
industry. The 18 chapters cover various aspects of anaerobic digestion technology
from the basics, i.e., microbiological aspects to prominent parameters governing
biogas production systems, as well as major principles of their operation, analysis,
process control, and troubleshooting. In addition, major issues affecting biogas
production, including the type of feedstock, pretreatment techniques, production
systems,design andfabricationof biogas plants, as well asbiogas purificationand
upgrading technologies are comprehensively reviewed and discussed. Providing
in-depthandcutting-edgeinformationoncentraldevelopmentsinthefield,‘Biogas:
Fundamentals, Process, and Operation’ also addresses the application of advanced
environmental and energy evaluation tools including life cycle assessment (LCA),
exergy, techno-economics, and modeling techniques. The book is intended for all
researchers, practitioners and students who are interested in the current trends and
future prospects of biogas production technologies.
It is expected that the present volume on biogas would assist both the scientific
and industrial communities in further developing this industry worldwide. We are
thankful to authors of all the chapters for their efficient cooperation and also for
their readiness in revising the manuscripts. We also would like to extend our
appreciation to the reviewers who in spite of their busy schedule assisted us by

manuscripts. We sincerely thank Dr. Vijai Kumar Gupta and Dr. Maria G. Tuohy
and the team of Springer Nature for their cooperation and efforts in producing this
book.
