Biogas production is fundamentally an environmentally beneficial process that converts waste streams into clean energy, but it can carry environmental risks if mismanaged. Unintentional methane venting or chronic leaks from faulty digester seals release potent greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Additionally, improper disposal of liquid digestate byproducts can cause localized soil pollution and nutrient leaching into nearby water bodies if environmental safeguards are ignored.
