Since the Industrial Revolution, the heat and power industries, the automotive sector, commercial manufacturing sector, and the energy industry have heavily relied on fossil fuels and their derivatives. Meanwhile, the environmental concerns and adverse conditions—such as global warming, climate change; pollution of air, water, and soil; rise in atmospheric temperature; alterations in weather patterns; seasonal variations; acid rain; ozone lay depletion as well as the catastrophic shifts in the natural ecosystems and habitats—are also experiential across different geographies of the world. Although these negative environmental conditions are interrelated, both direct and indirect correlations could be ascertained to the exploiting usage of fossil fuels. The extraction, processing, and burning of fossil fuels generate massive amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, which are the leading cause of global warming and most of the other aforementioned environmental concerns. The health hazards to humans and animals caused by atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic pollutions are also ascribed to anthropogenic activities and greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it is high time to seek alternative energy sources that can gradually replace fossil fuels to reduce environmental impacts and strategize to mitigate global warming and climate change. This book covers some recent advances in the production and utilization of biomethane.
