ABSTRACT

The food wastes of the Nangui Abrogoua University are rich in organic matter that can promote the production of biogas through anaerobic digestion (AD). These wastes are favorable for the AD process. This study aims at estimating the energy potential of the food wastes of the University Nangui Abrogoua by the production of biogas following the process of AD batch. The biogas from this food waste is estimated at 24.45 m3 or 24,450,000 mL for 30 days. This is equivalent to an energy potential of 171.14 kWh. These results obtained indicate that the food waste of the University Nangui Abrogoua is an important source of renewable energy.
