Methane Production from the Digestion of Different Livestock Manure and Co-digestion with Waste Water from Palm Oil Production

The generation of renewable energy from the digestion of biodegradable waste is one of the favoured waste management options as it also mitigates climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The energy produced can be enhanced through co-digestion of different types of wastes. The study was aimed at quantifying methane production from the digestion of different livestock manure and their co-digestion with waste...
