Article Synopsis
- Anaerobic digestion is an eco-friendly process that converts waste into energy, and this study specifically looks at khat and cow dung as potential feedstocks.
- The experiment involved running batch anaerobic reactors for 27 days to measure bio-methane production, revealing that mixtures with more khat produced the highest methane yields.
- The findings suggest that combining khat waste with cow dung enhances biomethane production through a synergistic effect, making it an effective waste-to-energy solution.

Water hyacinth () is characterized as an aquatic plant that can grow very rapidly and freely float over water, and covers the top surface of water. It prevents the penetration of sunlight and reduces nutrients and oxygen from water bodies, and can adversely affect the aquatic ecosystem; however, it can be used in the biogas production as the sole feedstock for anaerobic digestion due to high contents of carbohydrates and biodegradable matter. Thus, this study was aimed to remove water hyacinth from Lake Abaya as a renewable energy resource for biogas production through anaerobic digestion.
