Description

Xiaojun Zheng and six co-authors test mixing dragon fruit peel with chicken manure to make biogas in a study from 2025. Both wastes rot without air to yield methane, a usable fuel. The team ran bottle tests with each waste alone and with three blends, tracking gas yield, process stability, and the microbes present at the end.

All blends beat either waste alone. The peel-rich blend gave the highest yield, more than four times the peel alone and well above manure alone. Acid levels stayed low, a sign of a stable process. Microbe counts shifted toward groups that break down waste and make methane efficiently.
