Biomethane potential of urban food waste in AfricaExpansion of Anaerobic Digestion in Africa is limited by high investment costs and concerns about feedstock availability. Currently, the focus is mostly on digestion of animal manure. There is, however, a huge amount of untapped potential feedstocks. Urban and household waste, including sewage sludge, represent a significant biomethane potential due to their high organic content, moisture level and biodegradability. This poster evaluates the biomethane potential of urban food waste in Africa, which may amount to 24 billion cubic meter (BCM).

Best practices for bio-slurry storage to minimize lossesThe poster presents the best practices to avoid nutrient loss from bioslurry during storage. These practices include covering the storage, creating a barrier layer in the ground to prevent leaching, and providing ample storage to avoid overflow.
