Dark Fermentation and Anaerobic Digestion for H2 and CH4 Production, from Food Waste Leachates

  • Ioannis Kontodimos,
  • Christos Evaggelou,
  • Nikolaos Margaritis,
  • Panagiotis Grammelis and
  • Maria Goula

The present study investigates a two-stage process aimed at producing biogas from food waste leachates (FWL) through an experimental approach. The first stage involves biohydrogen production via dark fermentation (DF), while the second focuses on bio...

Co-Digestion of Cattle Slurry and Food Waste: Perspectives on Scale-Up

  • Angela Bywater,
  • Jethro A. H. Adam,
  • Sigrid Kusch-Brandt and
  • Sonia Heaven

Anaerobic digesters fed with dairy cow slurry struggle to achieve economic viability, particularly when animals are housed seasonally, so additional feedstocks are usually required. This study applied experimentally derived data from the co-digestion...
