Foreword
The use of biogas as a renewable energy source has increased significantly in the
worldinthelastyears.Themaindriverforthisisduetoinitiativesforreductionof
GHG emissions, fossil fuel replacement, technological and economic aspects that
permit to generate biogas (or biomethane) under stable conditions.
There are a lot of alternatives of organic materials to be used as substrate for
biogas generation processes. For tropical conditions, the diversity is even bigger,
mainly for plant materials, owing to the climatic conditions when compared to
temperate and cold countries.
One of the big challenges is to increase the yield of biogas generation in the
biodigestors. This can be done using strategies to prepare substrates by different
blends for codigestion and pretreat the organic materials to increase the bioavail-
ability of organic carbon. The study and understanding of microorganism com-
munity activity and inhibition processes are also very important for the
biodigestors’ good performance.
Inthisway,thebookImprovingBiogasProduction:TechnologicalChallenges,
Alternative Sources, Future Developments was very intelligently edited by
Dr. Helen Treichel and Dr. Gislaine Fongaro. The topics were organized and dis-
cussed to bring us a very important contribution for science and technology
advances to be applied to the biogas chain.
The 14 chapters of this book present, in detail, relevant information that can be
used as a good support material for professionals and students to increase their
knowledge in strategies for biogas production improvement.

Abstract Global energy demand is getting higher, and most of this energy is
produced through fossil fuels. Recent studies report that anaerobic digestion is an
efficient alternative to produce biogas. Moreover, the transformation of complex
organicmaterialsintoasourceofcleanandrenewableenergyreducestheemission
of greenhouse gases and can produce as by-product a high-value fertilizer for
growing crops. The anaerobic co-digestion is an option to solve the disadvantages
ofsinglesubstratedigestionsystem,beingthechemicalcompositionandproperties
of the substrates, the operating parameters (temperature, pH, charge rate, etc.), the
biodegradability, bioaccessibility, and bioavailability, important parameters to be
optimized. The main materials that could be used for biogas production are waste
fromcities,residuesfromtheproductionofotherbiofuels,agro-industrialwastein
general,agriculturalcrops,straws,ormicroalgaebiomassobtainedbycultivationin
wastewater. However, some of these materials, specially raw materials, need to be
treated to improve the biogas production. The aim of this chapter is to review the
mainmaterialsthatcouldbeusedforbiogasproductionandthefactorstooptimize
the production.
