Abstract

Biomethanation is a temperature-dependent process, and in the cold regions where temperature mostly remains below 20 °C, it acts as a crucial limiting factor. The biomethanation process with efficient cold-tolerant anaerobes and other advanced techniques, including reliable digester designs, cost-effective insulation strategies, and additives, can help increase methane production efficiency under low ambient temperature. In cold regions, traditional fuel sources like forest wood, charcoal, agricultural residues, or cow dung cakes are used for cooking and heating, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, biogas is a promising fuel to replace traditional fuels and helps reduce the greenhouse effect to a great extent. The current review article has highlighted the role of cold-tolerant methanogens, different digester designs with a special focus on insulation techniques, co-digestion, and additives. The review also discusses different upgradation techniques to generate pure methane as a substitute for natural gas. Additionally, life cycle assessment analysis is also carried out focusing on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to show higher biogas production over traditional biogas systems. Overall, the importance of improved biomethanation in cold regions has been discussed in this review article.
