Abstract: Nowadays, the generation of sustainable energy is a task of great importance. This talk aims to show the results obtained in improving the production of biogas from different treatments such as electro-oxidation, biochar or hydrogen addition applied to the anaerobic digestion of various organic waste. The activities of the ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICAL AND BIOPROCESSES ENGINEERING GROUP of the UNIVERSITY OF LEON will also be presented.
