Simple, effective solutions that can help lessen the impact of climate change already exist. That’s according to 2023 IEEE President Saifur Rahman , who was among the speakers from engineering organizations at the COP27 event held in Egypt in November. Another efficient option he pointed out is the combined cycle power plant.

In this model, the majority of the biogas is allocated to the production of renewable power using a device such as a gas-fired turbine with an exhaust heat recovery system. Heat recovered from the exhaust of the combustion gases produced by power generation sustains the mesophilic thermal requirements of the anaerobic digesters.
