Biochemical Μethane potential of most promising agricultural residues in Northern and Southern Greece
Abstract
Greece produces significant amounts of residual biomass due to its intense agricultural and agro-industrial sector. The anaerobic digestion process has been frequently considered as the best environmental and economic solution for energy recovery from different biodegradable waste such as agricultural waste, livestock manure, agro-industrial waste, as well as for their co-digestion. The aim of this study was the assessment of biochemical methane potential (BMP) of biomass feedstocks representative of Northern and Southern Greece, which are available during the fall/winter and spring/summer seasons, through the implementation of BMP assays. The raw residues evaluated in the current work included: (a) crop residues (corn silage and unsuitable for human consumption watermelon), (b) agro-industrial residues (malt, tomato processing residues, orange peels and olive pomace) and (c) livestock (cattle) manure. Tests of both single substrates and various mixtures were conducted for the evaluation of their methane yields. The results of the mono-substrates are in accordance with other studies in the literature, with watermelon presenting the highest methane potential (421.0 ± 3.4 ml CH 4/g VS added). After the evaluation of the mixtures and mono-substrates results, the most promising mixtures seemed to be the following: a) for Northern Greece, 10% corn silage-80% cattle manure-10% malt, b) for Southern Greece spring/summer season, 10% corn silage-14% cattle manure-66% watermelon-10% tomato processing residues, and c) for Southern Greece fall/winter season, 10% corn silage-57% cattle manure-23% orange peels-10% olive pomace.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
