The potential of co-digestion and biogas upgrading at wastewater treatment plants to produce surplus biomethane underscores the role of AD in decentralized renewable energy production and its integration into existing energy infrastructures. Moreover, the development of novel pretreatment methods for lignocellulosic waste can further optimize the AD process, making it more cost-effective and efficient. The future of anaerobic digestion technology looks promising, with ongoing research and innovations continually enhancing its efficiency and applicability. The integration of advanced pretreatment methods, such as the use of microbial consortia and conductive materials, is likely to play a crucial role in overcoming current limitations and maximizing biomethane yields. Additionally, the coupling of AD with other technologies, such as pyrolysis and biogas upgrading, offers a comprehensive approach to waste management and renewable energy production. As the demand for sustainable energy solutions grows, further advancements in AD technology will be essential in meeting these needs while addressing environmental concerns associated with agricultural waste. Continued research and development, along with supportive regulatory frameworks, will be key to realizing the full potential of anaerobic digestion in the renewable energy landscape.
