When properly designed, pretreatments may enhance the methane potential and/or
anaerobic digestion rate, improving digester performance. This paper aims at providing …

Since the impending warning of fossil fuel inadequacy, researchers' focus has shifted to
alternative fuel generation. This resulted in the use of a wide variety of renewable biomass …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a biological process that can convert organic substrates to
biogas in the absence of oxygen. The AD process has been practiced for centuries; …

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

Population increase and industrialization has resulted in high energy demand and
consumptions, and presently, fossil fuels are the major source of staple energy, supplying …

A comparison study on the energy recovery from single and two-stage anaerobic digestion
of Agave tequilana bagasse hydrolysates is presented in this contribution. Firstly, the A …

Continuous H 2 and CH 4 production in a two-stage process to increase energy recovery
from agave bagasse enzymatic-hydrolysate was studied. In the first stage, the effect of …

To tackle the ecological crisis with global warming, fossil fuel exhaustion and environmental
pollution,“green revolution” was proposed as an integrative upgrading plan to address the …

Agave, commonly known as “maguey” is an important part of the Mexican tradition and
economy, and is mainly used for the production of alcoholic beverages, such as tequila …

The present work summarizes different sources of biomass used as raw material for the
production of biogas, focusing mainly on the use of plants that do not compete with the food …
