(N/A) Scrap paper and vegetable waste can be used to produce biogas through anaerobic decomposition.
Converting these into biogas has the following advantages:
$(i)$ It produces a clean,cheap,and valuable fuel that serves as a sustainable energy source.
$(ii)$ It effectively manages waste by utilizing substances that would otherwise require significant space for landfilling or dumping.
$(iii)$ If this organic waste is left to decompose naturally in open dumps,it releases harmful greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide,contributing to environmental pollution. Converting it into biogas prevents these emissions.
