Abstract

Bio waste treatment can be done by composting or by digestion.

Both ways of treatment have their advantages and

disadvantages. The increase in energy efficiency of tunnel

composting approached by a bio leaching system and bio gas

production is one part of the EnBV research project.

The reduction of organic matter by bio leaching and the

enrichment of carbons in the leachate water can be used for

increasing the energy efficiency.
