[…] Biomass resources have been in use for a variety of purposes since ages. The multiple uses of biomass includes usage as a livestock or for meeting domestic and industrial thermal requirements or for the generation of power to fulfill any electrical or mechanical needs. One of the major issues, however, associated with the use of any biomass resources is its supply chain management. […]

In reply to HASSAN EL BARI.

Dear Prof. Hassan El Bari
Thanks for your kind words.
I agree with your assessment on date palm biomass. Pretreatment of dry agricultural biomass is essential for the anaerobic digestion process.
The alternative is go for the thermal route, like combustion or gasification, to tap energy potential of date palm biomass.

Best wishes

Dear Dr. Salman Zafar,
Many thanks for your important article. We work now in ERANETMED project collaboration ( Med Project). In fact, on characterizing our palm date waste, we found high VS and a good methanogne yield value. The problem is the costs of grinding pre-treatment to facilitate the digestion process.
