Methane Production during Storage of Anaerobically Digested Municipal Organic Waste.

The article focuses on the production of methane during storage of municipal organic waste that is digested anaerobically. In Denmark, source-separated municipal organic waste is digested anaerobically. Municipal organic waste that is anaerobically digested can be a source of methane (CH₄) emission. Methane emission has a role in global warming brought about by waste treatment system. A study is conducted to study the production of methane from the organic wastes. The measurement of temperature in storage tanks also provided information for the tests.
