contribution to the pursuit of sustainable development, aligning with key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This research aims to optimize the performance and efficiency of biogas production by integrating advanced techniques and strategies into the design and operation of biogas systems. Biogas energy holds great potential in addressing multiple SDGs. Firstly, it contributes to Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) by providing a renewable and environmentally-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. By optimizing the dynamic design of biogas systems, the efficiency and accessibility of biogas energy can be enhanced, ensuring affordability and promoting clean energy access for communities. Secondly, Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) is reinforced through the adoption of innovative approaches. By implementing dynamic design principles, biogas systems can be optimized for efficient resource recovery, waste management, and greenhouse gas reduction. This fosters the development of sustainable infrastructure and promotes the advancement of innovative technologies in the biogas sector. Furthermore, Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) is addressed as dynamic design allows the integration of biogas systems into urban environments, promoting circular economy principles and reducing the environmental footprint of cities. Biogas systems offer sustainable waste management solutions, while simultaneously generating clean energy and producing valuable biofertilizers. The fight against climate change, as envisaged by Goal 13 (Climate Action), is also advanced through dynamic design in biogas systems. By capturing and utilizing methane, a potent greenhouse gas released from organic waste, biogas systems significantly reduce emissions. Optimized designs enhance methane capture rates, contributing to global efforts in mitigating climate change and achieving emission reduction targets. Lastly, Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) is supported through efficient utilization of organic waste materials in biogas systems. By converting waste into valuable resources, such as biogas and biofertilizers, these systems promote responsible consumption, minimize waste generation, and encourage the transition towards a circular economy. The comprehensive study on innovative approaches to achieving dynamic design in biogas systems is of immense significance in the context of sustainable development. By aligning with various UN SDGs, the research contributes to the promotion of clean energy, sustainable infrastructure, waste management, climate action, and responsible consumption. The adoption of dynamic design principles in biogas systems holds the potential to drive a transition towards a more sustainable and resilient future for communities worldwide.
