Renewable Biomethane From Land and Ocean Energy Crops and Organic Wastes
نویسنده
چکیده
Several research programs investigated energy crops (aquatic and marine plants, grasses, and woods) and municipal solid wastes (MSW) coupled with anaerobic digestion for generation of renewable substitute natural gas. These programs integrated research on crop production and harvesting, collection of municipal solid wastes, conversion of these feedstocks to methane by anaerobic digestion, and systems analysis. The objective of this paper is to summarize the results of these programs as well a more recent project to evaluate use of anaerobic digestion for processing wastes generated during long-term space missions. The details of most of the information are presented in detail in a review by Chynoweth (2002).
