    Energy is an essential bedrock, which plays a high impact role in the running of domestic and industrial activities. Most energy used for these activities is majorly from conventional sources, which after combustion result in ecological imbalance, climatic affray, health hazards, and degradation of natural resources. Therefore, the quest for eco-friendly energy has made researchers to investigate on alternative energy, such as biogas. This review study presents a comprehensive analysis of various biomass used for biogas production considering the effects that co-digestion of these materials has on biogas yield, as well as the technology involved. It further evaluated the applicability of artificial intelligence for modeling and optimization of the anaerobic digestion process including the blend ratios, process parameters and so on. These indices determine the percentage methane yield from biomaterial. The review effort revealed that methane content of biomaterials digested without pre-treatment varies from 3.6 ± 0.7 to 443.55 ± 13.68NL kg 1 VS while the yield from biomaterials pre-treated using various methods varies from 301.38 mL CH4/g VSadded to 0.73–5.87 L/week. Anaerobic digestion of the blends of cow dung, mango pulp, and Chromolaena odorata was reportedly necessary, as information is scantily available on it. The modeling of the resulting experimental data using different machine learning techniques such as an adaptive-neuro-fuzzy inference system and ANFIS for predicting biogas yield is a major information gathered in this study. The AI models reviewed have high correlation factors ranging from 0.8700 to 0.9998. This information gathered in this paper will motivate the production of useful fuel to complement the existing energy sources while offering a near-term and practical means for reduction of environmental pollution.

    Energy from biomass and plastics recycling: a review
    (Taylor and Francis, 2021-01-01) Samuel Oluwafikayo Adegoke; Adekunle Akanni Adeleke; Peter Pelumi Ikubanni; Chiebuka Timothy Nnodim; Ayokunle Olubusayo Balogun; Olugbenga Adebanjo Falode; Seun Olawumi Adetona
    The sustainability of fossil fuel is not guaranteed as it is gradually depleting. Alternative ways to this challenge are to generate biofuel from biomass and plastic solid wastes. Many studies have been done on the actualization of these alternatives. Hence, this study accumulates research from multidiscipline for the purpose of advancing biofuel production for sustainable energy. The necessary information needed by scientists having interest in biofuel production, including government policy, biomass selection, different conversion techniques and different ASTM standards for biodiesel properties are entrenched in this study. For vast biofuel production, there is a need for a collaborative work among fields from microbiologist, biochemist to engineering for the development of innovations, growth of cells, understanding of genetic engineering of algae strains and optimization of biofuel production. Also, a review on the recovery and recycling process of plastic solid waste was done. This is to ensure that the use of plastic solid waste to support energy sustenance will lead to no energy is wasted. Various ASTM standards for investigating the different properties of bio-oil were reviewed. The numerous plastic wastes that have not been utilized in the production of biofuel can be investigated to reduce the environmental pollution.
