Abstract: The national, regional and local concerns about the disposal of municipal wastes, sludge and process wastes has encouraged various types of industries, including utilities such as Public Service Electric and Gas Company, to investigate innovative means of recovering the usable energy contained in these wastes. The anaerobic digestion or bioconversion of wastes to produce methane gas is of particular interest for its potential in supplementing natural gas resources in certain areas of the U.S. An overview and state-of-the-art assessment of the bioconversion of waste is presented as well as an analysis of the opportunities for methane recovery from waste. Laboratory test results obtained through the anaerobic digestion of combined samples of municipal solid waste and sludge are presented. A utility perspective on bioconversion is outlined.
