Abstract
Biogas is one of the most common sources of renewable energy. It can be produced by the anaerobic fermentation of wood or agricultural or urban waste. Coherent management of solid urban waste in landfill sites involves the artificial elimination of the gases that accumulate inside the landfill as a result of the actual fermentation of the waste. There are many advantages to using the biogas generated in Bilbao from urban waste - it is safe, its production generates a considerable profit, it is clean energy, jobs are created, and it contributes to technological development.
