Abstract

Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) of grass waste (GS) with fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) was evaluated to improve methane generation from lignocellulosic biomass. Batch BMP tests were performed using raw grass (GSr), size-reduced grass (GSp), and GS:FVW mixtures. FVW exhibited high biodegradability (453 Nml CH 4 /gVS; BDI 97.7%), whereas GS showed markedly lower conversion (169 Nml CH 4 /gVS ; BDI 41.2%). Particle-size reduction of grass from 20 mm to
