1. IntroductionDeveloping countries are characterized by rapid industrialization and high population growth. As a result, the amount of organic waste generated has increased. The predominant methods of waste disposal, incineration and landfilling pose problems. Incinerators produce combustion gases containing bioaerosols, which pollute the environment. Although the use of landfills has been described as efficient and to some extent environmentally friendly, most developing countries do not have sufficient landfill capacities to effectively deal with the waste generated. For example, according to research by Gautam, Baral, and Herat (2009), when Gorkana, Nepal's largest landfill, was filled, waste management authorities began dumping their waste along the banks of the river. Bagmati. Conversion of organic waste into biogas through anaerobic digestion offers the best solution for organic waste management (Zhang et al. 2014). A similar trend is observed in Malaysia, where landfills are almost reaching their lifespan due to poor management (Jereme 2013). This technology not only provides a disposal solution but also acts as an alternative to existing energy sources, thereby increasing the overall energy available for economic activities (Zhang et al. 2014). The project studies the health, environmental, cultural and economic impacts of anaerobic digestion in developing countries. The paper presents an overview of biogas production, biogas composition, biogas applications and finally the health, environmental, cultural and economic impacts of biogas in developing countries.2. General information Biogas is a mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), produced from organic waste...... middle of paper ......technology does not just offer a solution waste management, but also acts as an alternative source of energy. Due to the increasing expense of conventional biofuels, the need to reduce pollution, and the ease of handling and disposal of organic waste, biogas technology is widely used today. Biogas technology has more positive than negative impacts in developing countries. It has reduced air pollution and improved hygienic conditions in developing countries. It has reduced environmental pollution by reducing the amount of carbon and its compounds in the atmosphere. Young girls gained more power in society and education was promoted. The technology has saved money by providing an alternative means of waste disposal and as a cheap source of energy. Finally, biogas technology has boosted agriculture by offering an alternative to chemical fertilizers.
