Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

Biogas plants are a big initiative for the management of waste production in Nigeria and a one-stop solution to the growing organic waste problem. This study explores the potential of medium-scale biogas plants for the processing of organic waste materials from organic wastes and their benefits to the community. On the basis of this research, the idea of the policies employed by the government, the cost-effective production of biogas from organic wastes, the conversion of biogas for the generation of electricity, and the working of a biogas plant, along with its design, has been highlighted and shows the importance of the employment of a medium-scale biogas plant. Therefore, this research discusses the problems, challenges, and limitations faced by Nigeria in the adoption, use, and development of medium-scale biogas plants as a feasible solution for the management of organic waste in Nigeria and provides working recommendations on how this technology will be used as a sustainable technology for the betterment of the lives of the people and economy of the country.
