The increasing demand for electrical energy and environmental concerns associated with conventional means of its generation drive the interest in alternative fuels. Biohydrogen, widely considered as fuel of the future, is one of such alternatives. To date, research results suggest that biological routes are the most promising for hydrogen production, especially dark (hydrogen) fermentation. Hydrogen fermentation can be performed with agricultural and food processing wastes as substrates. In this paper the most important factors influencing dark fermentation are reviewed and analyzed. These are: pH, partial pressure, temperature, and retention time. The biohydrogen generation efficiency is also presented with respect to different substrates. It should be also pointed out that many factors are still unknown; thus, the process requires conducting further research.

The biogas production constitutes one of renewable energy sources (RES) . In addition, wastes are preferred for energy production. In the case of some wastes, e.g. poultry manure, it is difficult to conduct anaerobic digestion in monofermentation. The aim of this work was to plan the biogas plant, in which the main substrate is the waste from a poultry farm. The scope of work included: preparation of a biogas plant technological project, determining the amount of biogas and methane that can be produced annually on the example of the selected poultry farm, performing the energy and financial calculations for the current conditions prevailing on the renewable energy market in Poland. The installation project assumed the location of a biogas plant at an existing poultry farm – the source of the substrate. The micro-biogas plant includes a fermentation tank with a capacity of 500 m3 and storage of digestate pulp with a capacity of 700 m3. The assumed power biogas plant will generate 112 kW of electricity and 120 kW of heat. The installation will operate in a single-stage mesophilic technology (39 °C), which will avoid incurring additional costs related to heating and the construction of additional fermentation tanks. The use of poultry manure by anaerobic digestion provides benefits through biogas technology. It is necessary to examine the technology in terms of biogas production, which is carried out under better sanitary and environmental conditions. This work was undertaken to investigate the environmentally friendly removal of poultry manure through biogas technology to obtain the best economic effect, and employ it further, e.g. as a fertilizer.

The substrates to biogas production in anaerobic digestion, except plant materials, can also be animal feces and manure. It should be highlighted that Poland is one of leaders in the European Union in animal breeding. However, there is no precise data in the literature on the potential of biogas production from animal feces in this country. The aim of the paper was to analyze the biogas production potential from manure in Poland. The aim of work included anaerobic digestion research following materials: cow manure, pig manure, poultry manure and sheep manure. In the next step, based on the obtained results of the biogas yield, energy potential calculations were made. The methane yield for the investigated feedstock materials in the batch culture technology was performed following the internal procedures developed based on the adapted standards, i.e. DIN 38 414-S8 and VDI 4630. Animal wastes were obtained from the Agricultural Experimental Stations of Poznan University of Life Sciences (Poznan, Poland). On a base of achieved results it was concluded that tested substrates have a high energy potential (approx. 28.52 GWh of electricity). The largest potential for electricity production was found in chicken manure (about 13.86 GWh) and cow manure (about 12.35 GWh). It was also shown which regions of Poland have the best chance for development of agriculture biogas plants (Wielkopolskie and Mazowieckie voivodships) and where the potential is the least (Lubuskie and Opolskie voivodeships).

Substratami do produkcji biogazu w procesie fermentacji beztlenowej, obok materiałów roślinnych, mogą być odchody zwierzęce. Należy podkreślić, że Polska jest jednym z liderów w Unii Europejskiej w zakresie hodowli zwierząt. Jednak, w aktualnej literaturze nie ma dokładnych danych na temat potencjału produkcji biogazu z odchodów zwierzęcych w tym kraju. Celem pracy była analiza potencjału produkcji biogazu z obornika w Polsce. Zakres prac obejmował przeprowadzenie badań fermentacji beztlenowej następujących materiałów: obornika bydlęcego, obornika trzody chlewnej, obornika drobiowego i obornika owczego. W kolejnym etapie, w oparciu o uzyskane wyniki wydajności biogazu, dokonano obliczeń potencjału energetycznego. Badania wydajności metanowej dla badanych materiałów wsadowych w technologii okresowej zostały przeprowadzone zgodnie z procedurami wewnętrznymi opracowanymi w oparciu o zaadaptowane normy, tj. DIN 38 414-S8 i VDI 4630. Materiały do badań pobrane zostały z Zakładów Doświadczalnych Uniwersytetu Przyrodniczego w Poznaniu. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników stwierdzono, że badane podłoża mają duży potencjał energetyczny (około 28,52 GWh energii elektrycznej). Największy potencjał produkcji energii stwierdzono dla obornika kurzego (ok. 13,86 GWh) oraz bydlęcego (ok. 12,35 GWh). Wykazano również, które regiony Polski mają największe szanse na rozwój biogazowni rolniczych (województwo wielkopolskie i mazowieckie), a w których potencjał produkcji jest najmniejszy (województwo lubuskie i opolskie).
