This paper assesses the resource of biomethane produced from food waste at a state level in the EU. The resource is dependent on the quantity of food waste available for anaerobic digestion and the specific methane yield from food waste. The specific method of undertaking biomethane potential...

This paper examines the impact of increasing organic loading in a two phase anaerobic digestion system treating commercial food waste. The first phase is a series of sequentially fed leach bed reactors (LBRs). The second phase is an upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB). Leachate from the leach...

This paper examines the variability in biomethane potential from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste depending on source of origin. Eight organic waste streams were examined for biochemical methane potential (BMP). Specific methane yields of between 274 and 368mL CH4 gVS−1 for...
