Abstract

Biogas production will be a well-established technology and valorization of organic residues throughout the whole province of Afghanistan. As it is the end product of a biologically mediated process, named anaerobic digestion, the different microorganisms follow diverse metabolic pathways to decompose the organic matter. The wide process will be applied to provide heat and power in households. The purpose of this study was to find out the benefits of biogas production in Afghanistan. So, the existence of abundant waste materials resources of biogas can rapidly grow the production of biogas in Afghanistan and create new achievements as the main biogas plant. As large advanced bioenergy companies. The huge authentic potential of Afghanistan with the resource of biogas makes the highest opportunity to produce this energy, as it is widely used as household energy. For instance, for supplying the required power for lighting, warming, and cooking foods in villages far from the gas network, generating income, and reducing the cost of transmission from cities to villages, ability to set up simple and low-cost biogas production units in rural, preventing the production of greenhouse gases from the waste disposal site; reducing the use of fossil fuels, and creating employment in the rural sector is the benefit.
