<div>we have developed a biogas plant that would accept green biomass of any kind. By using pure leaves, we get daily about 800 litres biogas from a daily input of about 10 kg fresh leaves. With whole sugarcane (stem and leaves), we get the same amount of biogas from just 4 kg fresh biomass. We have developed this technology specifically for use with the vegetable market waste, but one can also grow a green leafy crop and use it as the feedstock. I cannot disclose the design details but I can assure you that it works. </div>
<div>Yours</div>
