To
switch
the
over-reliance
on
fossil-based
resources,
curb
environmental
quality
deterioration,
and
promote
use
of
renewable
fuels,
much
attention
has
recently
been
directed
toward
implementation
sustainable
environmentally
benign
'waste-to-energy'
technology
exploiting
a
clean,
inexhaustible,
carbon-neutral,
energy
source,
namely
agricultural
biomass.
From
this
perspective,
anaerobic
co-digestion
(AcoD)
emerges
as
potent
plausible
approach
to
attain
development,
foster
sustainability,
and,
most
importantly,
circumvent
key
challenges
associated
with
mono-digestion.
