Abstract

The application of the anaerobic digestion technology for the treatment of the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) is increasing in Europe because of the energy content, especially when it is source selected. The digestate exit the process can be exploited by composting to stabilize the organic matter and produce a soil conditioner for agricultural use. This paper presents the activities carried out at pilot plant scale with the aim to define a protocol for the management of source selected food waste by a first anaerobic dry digestion, followed by aerobic composting for the production of biogas and a soil conditioner of high quality. The last part of the presentation deals with the research activities on the innovative use of biogas to feed fuel cell for energy generation
