[Digestion] Biogas yields for tropical energy crops

[Lou Dobb]

Hi all, I'm new to this mailing list. Thanks for the very interesting resources and discussions. 

I have been trying to find some data on biogas yields for tropical energy crops (such as sugarcane, sweet sorghum, cassava, sweet potato, grass species, tropical sugar beet, etc...). But I can't find much.

In my search I only found data on crops grown in temperate and even cold climates (Finland). 

E.g. Annimari Lehtomäki: "Biogas production from energy crops and crop residues", Jyväskylä Studies in Biological and Environmental Sciences 163, PhD Dissertation, Faculty of Mathematics and Sciences, University of Jyväskylä, 2006.

http://dissertations.jyu.fi/studbiol/9513925595.pdf

Could anyone help me compile a list of yields for tropical crops?

We could use the list for a wiki, as a basic reference.


How come there are so little data on this? I don't understand.

Best regards,
Lou
