What is biological utilisation?

Biological utilisation refers to the process of using biological waste, such as plant residues, paper and kitchen waste, to be decomposed by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi and converted into biogas.

Biological utilisation takes place in special plants, so-called biogas plants.
In these plants, the organic waste is fermented in the absence of air and in the presence of microorganisms. These microorganisms convert the organic components of the waste into biogas, which consists mainly of methane and carbon dioxide and can be used as a source of energy.
