DIMENSIONAMENTO DE CAPACIDADE DE GERAÇÃO DE UMA USINA DE BIOGÁS: ESTUDO DE CASO NO ATERRO SANITÁRIO DE VARGINHA-MG

Abstract

We are currently going through a critical process in energy, due to the oil crisis the increase in energy demand and climate change, we highlight the need for studies by renewable sources that do not harm the environment, bringing economic and environmental improvements.
