Abstract
Anaerobic digestion of rice crop residues-husk and straw—was carried out in 190-litre metallic digesters. One kilogram of rice straw yielded about 220 litres of biogas under batch digestion. However, rice husk did not perform well due to the high lignin content and unfavourble nonlignin-carbon to nitrogen ratio. A mixture of rice straw and cattle dung (1:1 dry weight basis) yielded 9·1% more gas than rice straw alone.
