Abstract:
To meet the increasing need for bioenergy three lignocellulosic materials: raw hay (H), pretreated wheat straw (WS) and pretreated household waste (HHW) were considered for the production of bioethanol and biogas. Several mixtures of household waste supplemented with different fractions of wheat straw and hay in fermentation process with Saccharomyces cerevisiae were investigated. Wheat straw and household wastes were pretreated using IBUS technology, patented by Dong Energy, which includes milling, steam explosion treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. Methane production was investigated in two separate experiment. In the first effluents from bioethanol generation (fermented household wastes, wheat straw and hay) were used. Afterwards, trial of methane production from thermally and enzymatically pretreated household waste was carried out.
