Description

Henok Akililu Legesse, Wagene Hailu Debele, and Akiber Chufo Wachemo turn farm waste into gas in a 2024 study. The feeds are khat plant waste and cow dung, broken down without air. Such digestion ranks among the cleanest waste-to-energy routes.

Seven mixes ran in small batch tanks for twenty-seven days at mild heat. The best gas yield came from the mix richest in khat waste, at two parts to one of dung. Pure dung gave the lowest yield, about half as much. Khat fibers broke down well in the tanks. Pairing the two feeds beats either alone, thanks to how they balance each other.
