The amount of solid wastes generated in developing countries such as Nigeria has steadily increased over the last few decades as a result of increase in population and continuous growth of industries and agricultural activities. This book discussed the generation of biogas from various inputs to compliment the fuel usage in energy production.It is a must read to all energy students and tutors. It will enhance and contribute to the global drive for energy production.
