Question

How many tonnes of methane gas is produced by the decomposition of bio-degradable waste? (A) 7 crore (B) 2 crore (C) 9 crore (D) 11 crore​

Answer 1

• The complete anaerobic biodegradation of MSW produces roughly 200 Nm3 of methane per dry tonne of included biomass, according to theoretical and experimental investigations.
• However, methane production rates in industrial anaerobic digestion reactors have been observed to range between 40 and 80 Nm3 per tonne of organic waste.
• Thus, 2 crore of methane gas is produced by the decomposition of bio-degradable waste.
