    Assessing the Use of Activated Carbon to Increase Biogas Production
    (Uganda Christian University, 2024-04-15) Sandra Namulumba
    This research focuses on the need to increase the quantity of biogas produced in a bio-digester considering the required conditions like temperature ph, the feeding rate are all met according to the given standards. This study aims to assess the use of activated carbon to increase the quantity of biogas produced at the National Livestock Resources Research Institute biogas plant while using the same amount feedstock. The results from this study indicated an increase in methane production and decrease in carbon-dioxide in the bio-digester through the Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer Diet (DIET) process while using abiotic conductive materials like activated charcoal. The results of study contribute to the development of a cost-effective and sustainable method for increasing the quantity of biogas.
