Evaluation of Biomethane Potential of Napier Grass Via Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion and its Digestate Recirculation

Short Introductive summary

In the present scenario, the demand for energy is upsurging at a fast rate due to industrialization, population growth and urbanisation. To meet this energy demand, the world is dependent on limited fossil fuels, that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and affect the climate. Therefore, to replace fossil-based energy generation, renewable energy resources are highly promoted nowadays. Anaerobic digestion is one of the techniques to utilise waste for energy generation. Here, we are producing biomethane from Napier grass through a thermophilic anaerobic digestion process because of its excellent biomethane and biogas potential. Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) is a fast-growing perennial grass native to Africa and Southeast Asia. It has attracted much attention as an efficient feedstock in bioenergy applications because of its perennial nature and high biomass yield, with low inputs on marginal lands. We are getting good biomethane yield from this feedstock.
