Greenhouse Gases Emission Mitigation and Utilization in Composting and Waste Management Industry: Potentials and Challenges

The alleviation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a major provoke for waste management and composting industry in expect of the global warming regards. Carbon dioxide and GHG emission reduction during composting have been noticed as one of the important steps toward environmental engineering. To keep GHG below the standard limit, huge quantity CO₂ emissions’ reduction through dissociation and exploitation will be necessary. In addition, CO₂ generation reduction will uprise an unique methods option when expanse of CO₂ emissions is considered to be enclosed in the waste collection, separation, and transportation price. This chapter with consideration the possible CO₂ reduction/fixation biotechnology and it’s utilization via biochemical engineering as by-products in composting factory. Many CO₂ reduction and adsorption methods such as organic, inorganic and microbial adsorption and transformation to CO₂, oxidative dehydrogenation, hydrogenation, and polymerization are extensively considered. The methods’ limitation and recent advancement and accomplished fact are also summarized. © 2019, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
