Abstract

Recently, biogas production through anaerobic digestion technology has advanced massively. At the moment, caused by high energy demand and environmental concerns as the world’s population increases, the drive for anaerobic digestion processes is achievement drive within research and the industry for sustainable energy generation. The study evaluated biogas production from anaerobic mono-digestion of para grass in laboratory scale studies. In addition, improvement of the biogas yield from the grass via chemical pretreatment and leaching bed reactors was studied. Methane content of biogas was 54.36 % by mono- substrate. The results revealed that para grass can be treated anaerobically and are a good source of biogas.
