International Energy Agency: Bioenergy Task 37: Energy from Biogas and Landfill Gas www.iea-biogas.net
Task 37 is a working group which covers the biological treatment of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) as well as the anaerobic treatment of organic rich industrial waste water. OFMSW is digested in specifically designed digestors or in co-digestion with other wastes (mainly manure). The main interests are the production of biogas and a digestate of a high quality. Collection, sorting, gas upgrading and gas utilization are accompaning technologies.
