Worldwide waste generation has become a topic of interest since the accumulation of this waste has prompted environmental hazards. Among which, anaerobic digestion provides green and efficient alternate solution for removal of toxic waste and energy production. Therefore, this review emphasizes on the recent data published in 2018 on topics related to anaerobic process, enhancement of biogas production, and fermentation efficiency. Furthermore, more focus was made on the factors influencing anaerobic digestion and the effect of trace elements as ionic salts as well as nanoparticles on overall biogas production, respectively. Practitioner points Anaerobic digestion provide green and efficient alternate solution to deal with. This review focused on the conditions related to anaerobic process to improve biogas production and fermentation efficiency. The trace elements were focused on how to influence biogas production during anaerobic digestion.
