Abstract: Kitchen garbage is usually discharged from families，schools，dining rooms and restaurants. A great part of municipal waste is kitchen garbage. Using kitchen garbage to produce energy could not only decrease pollution but also obtain clean energy. The research on fuel ethanol from kitchen garbage is a hot topic. Treatment of kitchen garbage and research progress of energy production from kitchen garbage are reviewed. Production of biodiesel，methane，hydrogen and fuel ethanol from kitchen garbage is introduced. Formulating related policies and regulations，implementing separate collection of kitchen garbage，combining with a variety of energy resources and developing advanced technology and equipment are the focus of future research.

Key words: kitchen garbage, methane, hydrogen, biodiesel, fuel ethanol

摘要： 餐厨垃圾是指家庭、学校、食堂以及餐饮行业的食物废料和残余，是城市生活垃圾的重要组成部分。以餐厨垃圾为原料进行能源生产，既可以获得清洁能源，又能减少污染物排放，是目前研究的热点。本文综述了餐厨垃圾目前处理现状以及能源化的研究进展。主要介绍了利用餐厨垃圾生产生物柴油、甲烷、氢气以及燃料酒精的进展情况。指出制定完善的相关政策法规，加快实施餐厨垃圾分类收集，多种资源化方式结合，开发先进工艺及成套设备是未来餐厨垃圾能源化发展的关键。
