Benefits of Biochar for Anaerobic Digester Plants
It has long been determined that activated carbon or biochar aids in the production of methane (CH4) and Hydrogen (H2) through the process of anaerobic digestion/degradation of organic matter. This post covers just some of the benefits in layman’s terms to show the economic viability of using biochar as an additive. Firstly, and most economically important is the fact that biochar, through scientific tests has been proven to increase production by 23,5 – 47.1%. It can also increase the quality of methane produced by up to 25%. It does this in various ways: 1) Boosts anaerobic digestion performance. 2) Biochar acts as a carrier to increase microbial abundance. 3) Maintains…
