Energy from biomass has been in use from historical days itself but biomass as energy source is not as popular as that of other renewable energy resources. Anaerobic digestion is commonly used to convert organic biomass into biogas. The main drawback of this technology is the long retention period and low efficiency. To tackle this problem pre-treatment and adding additives are best suitable options available. This paper reviews the different pre-treatment techniques and additives that can be used to improve the biogas (mainly methane) yield and to reduce the retention period of the process.
