Resumo:
The constant increase in global warming that occurred after the middle of the twentieth century and intensified by anthropogenic actions based on the emission of greenhouse gases such as methane, is a reality that worries not only for the harmful damages to the environment and the quality of life of human beings, but also for the preservation of future generations (Silva and Paula, 2009). In the mid-1980s, with the Brundtland conference, the concept for sustainable development emerged which is defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising future generations (BRUNDLAND, 1987). In order to avoid excessive damage to the existence of human beings, recent studies by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2018) examined the need to limit global warming to 1.5 Celsius instead of 2 Celsius, as previously predicted by the Paris Climate Agreement signed in 2015. According to the study, the absence of measures to be taken at present may generate extremely harmful damage to the environment, human beings, fauna, and flora of the planet. Limiting global warming to 1.5 Celsius involves large reductions in the emission of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Thus, a strong demand in the bioenergy sector is necessary, highlighting the importance of using appropriate management measures which contribute to minimizing the problem, as is the case with the use of anaerobic digestion as a treatment for organic solid waste. The growing increase in the world population and the accelerated urbanization process of cities have resulted in the generation of excessive amounts of solid urban waste (Roth & Garcias, 2008), which, if poorly managed, contribute not only to the increase in damage caused to environment, but also inflict several problems in the social and economic aspect of modern society, thus aggravating the problem.
