AB - Today municipal wastes represent a general problem from multiple points of  view: necessary space for depositing, odor, possible soil contamination. In  the same time, a large quantity of organic residual material remains unused  in terms of energy conversion by potentially producing a biofuel which, in  its term, can be used for covering at least partially, the human demand for  energy. In this context, the present paper underlines the possible  applications of anaerobic fermentation for biogas production by using as  main substrate solid municipal waste from city of Timisoara, Romania, inside  a pilot installation for determining its potential for further usage at  larger scale in firing or co-firing processes; in this context, conclusions  will be traced, based on the resulted experiments.
