Anaerobic co-digestion of residues in 1G2G sugarcane biorefineries for enhanced electricity and biomethane production

The energy potential of residue-derived biogas via electricity and biomethane production was assessed in an integrated 1G2G sugarcane biorefinery concept. The mono-digestion of 1G-vinasse (1G-VN) was compared with different co-digestion systems, namely, 1G-VN + filter cake (FC) + deacetylation liquor (DL) in the season and FC + DL in the off-season. Gross energy output values and the resulting sugarcane use efficiency were also assessed in...
