Assessment of factors influencing the biomethane yield of maize silages

Methods for determination of biomethane potential of feedstocks: a review

“…There is evidence that methane yield increases with increasing content of volatile products and less hemicelluloses (Gao et al 2012). Biomethane yield is affected by VS content (Mayer et al, 2014). In fact, there is a high correlation between VS and both ABP and BMP (Mayer et al, 2014).…”

“…Biomethane yield is affected by VS content (Mayer et al, 2014). In fact, there is a high correlation between VS and both ABP and BMP (Mayer et al, 2014). …”

“…In order to optimise biomethane yield from crops, factors that influence BMP and biomass yield should be identified and managed (Mayer et al, 2014). Factors such as agro-climatic conditions, soil characteristics, plant varieties, and agronomic practices influence both the composition and yield of crops.…”

“…Feedstocks differ markedly in their chemical composition. As such, the amount and the composition of biogas vary from one substrate to another (Mayer et al, 2014). …”

Biotechnological Transformation of Lignocellulosic Biomass in to Industrial Products: An Overview

“…Anaerobic digestion or biomethanation is the microbial process which converts organic materials into biogas in the absence of oxygen. Biogas mainly consists of methane and carbon dioxide, used for the production of electricity and heat for local needs [117] [118]. Biogas can also be used as vehicle fuel where biogas is cleaned and upgraded to biomethane which is combusted in an internal combustion engine [119] [120].…”
