Biogas production in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) plays a decisive role in the reduction of CO2 emissions and energy needs in the context of the water-energy nexus. The biogas obtained from sewage sludge digestion can be converted into biomethane by the use of biogas upgrading technologies. I...
