What is it about?

Coffee husk and pulp have attractive bio-methane yield. I this study we demonstrated how much methane could be recovered from anaerobic fermentation of husk or pulp, and how much we can put these substrates for safe fermentations conditions.

Why is it important?

This study points out the anaerobic fermentation performance of coffee husk and pulp, in continuous fermentation with increasing organic loading rates. Users can estimate their methane yield according to the loading and also consider the necessity of trace elements to make the fermentation process stable

Perspectives

I believe this article would provide information on an alternative substrate for anaerobic fermentation especially in areas where primary coffee processing is undergoing.
