Accelerated biogas production without leachate recycle

Abstract: The economics of biogas production remain marginal, even on ‘free’ substrates such as wastes. However, new insights into the fundamental processes of solid-state digestion promise a much faster and more predictable process. This holds the future prospect of profitable biogas production from anaerobic composters fed with a range of solid substrates, including food industry wastes and biomass crops.
