Food waste collected in the Akouedo landfill, Côte d’Ivoire, is characterized for its potential for use as a feedstock for anaerobic digestion processes. The biogas yield of the food waste is evaluated using batch anaerobic digestion tests performed at 37°C. It is determined to be 2259 mL (282 mL/g VS) after 45 days of digestion. The results of this study indicate that the food waste from Akouedo landfill is a highly desirable substrate for anaerobic digesters with regards to its high biodegradability and biogas yield.
