Enhancement of Biogas via CO2 Sequestration and Concurrent Production of Acetic Acid by Newly Isolated Bacteria

Abstract

Sizuki Nishimu

Biogas production from organic waste is a promising renewable energy source. However, the presence of CO₂ in biogas reduces its energy content. This article explores the potential of enhancing biogas quality through CO₂ sequestration using newly isolated bacteria, while concurrently producing valuable acetic acid. The study integrates microbiology, biotechnology, and environmental engineering to optimize biogas production processes. Key aspects such as bacterial isolation, acetic acid yield, CO₂ sequestration efficiency, and overall process economics are discussed. The findings suggest a viable strategy for improving biogas quality and simultaneously obtaining valuable biochemicals.
