Bio-waste recovery: methanization steps on the gas!

,
Bio-waste is everywhere: in wastewater treatment plants, landfills, farms and local communities. Many stakeholders believe methanization offers a timely solution for treating such organic waste, while also producing energy. At IMT Atlantique, a research team is conducting studies on the viability of these facilities and the biogas they produce. As part of their applied research, they use complex tools involving several disciplines.
