Food waste as biogas generators at the Rumiñahui Institute

Abstract

The production of organic waste poses a global environmental challenge due to the underuti-lization of greenhouse gases. Utilizing this waste to produce biofuel is particularly relevant in marginalized areas with limited access to fuel. In cooking workshops, the lack of waste classifi-cation creates environmental challenges, considering that waste is produced that can be reused in energy alternatives. In this sense, it becomes necessary to implement biogas production pro-cesses using biomass, and for this, experimental tests were carried out considering treatment time, using collectors, flow valves. The results were evaluated through physical, chemical, and statistical analyses to control biogas production. Experimental trials determined the biomass volume required to generate biofuel, establishing its viability for kitchen use. Given its high yield and biodegradability, biogas generation from organic waste is a feasible small-scale solu-tion.This revised summary should meet the word count requirements while maintaining the essential information from your original text.
