Biochemical methane potential of microalgae biomass using different microbial inocula [PDF]
Background Microalgae biomass is regarded as a potential feedstock for bioenergy purposes through anaerobic digestion (AD). Even though AD is a well-proven technology, the use of new feedstocks requires in-depth studies.

Power and Limitations of Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) Tests [PDF]
As energy systems transition toward renewable sources, anaerobic digestion (AD), which can be used to recover energy from organic substrates, is receiving growing attention. AD research and practice both rely on biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests to determine the methane potential of sewage sludge, energy crops and organic wastes (Pearse et al.,
