The rapid depletion of natural resources and the environmental concerns associated with
the use of fossil fuels as the main source of global energy is leading to an increased interest …

Agro-waste (wheat straw) is considered most effective (heating value 16 MJ/kg) for energy
recovery through anaerobic digestion (AD). However, the complex lignocellulosic structure …

The effect of thermal, acid, alkaline and alkaline-peroxide pretreatments on the methane
produced by the anaerobic digestion of wheat straw (WS) and sugarcane bagasse (SCB) …

The increasing production of food waste worldwide and new international regulations call for
the development of new technologies to treat this biowaste. Anaerobic processes are able to …

Hard lignocellulosic structure of wheat straw is the main hindrance in its anaerobic
digestion. Thus, a laboratory scale batch experiment was conducted to study the effect of …

Price hikes in conventional fuels coupled with sustainability concerns result into growing
attraction towards lignocellulosic biomass conversion to biofuels. The hydrothermal …

Lignocellulosic biomasses (LBs) gradually become the vital substrate for the anaerobic
digestion (AD) to produce clean bio-energy. However, the low biodegradability of LBs limits …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a useful method for producing renewable energy/biofuel. Today,
biogas production uses a large amount of energy crops (EC), with the effect of increasing AD …

The continuous surge in global energy demand, fossil fuel depletion, and related climate
change issues have oriented the worldwide researchers' endeavors to the investigation and …

In this study, batch tests were performed to evaluate the effects of different thermal
pretreatment temperatures (55–160° C) and durations (15–120 min) on the anaerobic …
