INTRODUCTION As a renewable energy source in a context of sustainable development, discarded banana’s lignocellulosic biomass (balicebiom) could be used efficiently to produce biogas in general and CH4 in particular. METHODOLOGY
The investigations involved chemical liquid and gaseous morphological part fermentation process
carried out have analysis on solid, samples from each (MP) during the
WORLDWIDE ANNUAL PRODUCTION
250 million tons of discarded balicebiom with a potential of 316 m³ CH4/ton DW
RESULTS 3 Volatile fatty acid (VFA) analysis using HPLC
VFA concentrations after 14 d
Glucose positive control sample Biogas analysis using KOH equipment replacement procedure
CONCLUSIONS
Electricity estimation and valorization
Our results show that: An efficient transformation of balicebiom into a clean energy vector, biomethane is possible. An agro-industrial banana producing company such as CDC-Del Monte in Cameroon could generate an important income from this energy (about 10 million kWh which would be worth 0.8–1.6 million € in the current market). Further studies need to be performed to improve the biogas productivity. Pretreatments and co-biomethanation of all the six MPs studied in this work need to be investigated in order to reduce the digestion time and to optimize the production of CH4.
