Tri Generation System from Local Energy Resources: Feedstock Resource

With the growing demand for sustainable energy, biogas is emerging as a promising alternative to fossil fuels. This project explores the development of local biogas production systems to promote energy independence, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support circular economies. Biogas, primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide, is generated through the anaerobic digestion of organic waste, such as agricultural residues, food waste, and sewage. By utilizing locally available biomass, communities can produce renewable energy while addressing waste management challenges. This study focuses on the design and implementation of small- to medium-scale biogas plants, tailored to local conditions. It emphasizes the use of low-cost technologies and community involvement. Key aspects include: Identifying suitable feedstocks, Optimizing the anaerobic digestion process, and evaluating the potential contribution of biogas to local energy grids. Additionally, the project examines the environmental and economic benefits of biogas production, aiming to create a scalable model that can be adapted to other regions. A case study of Abu Saleem Municipality was conducted using data from the Public Services Company over a three-year period. The findings revealed that the municipality generates an average of 10,000 tons of waste per month (334 tons per day). Of this, 43% (4,300 tons per month) is suitable for biogas production, while the remaining 57% consists of non-digestible materials. Ultimately, this project demonstrates how biogas can play a vital role in local sustainability efforts by providing a clean, renewable energy source, enhancing community resilience, and reducing dependence on non-renewable resources.
