    Abstract

    This study evaluates and compares the resource, energy, and GHG emission performance of two biodigestion plants in Brazil, that treat the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW); one operating under high solid anaerobic digestion (HSAD) and the other as a wet anaerobic digestion (WAD) system. The results indicate that the HSAD system: (1) Utilizes less water (for WAD 83.5 l/t OFMSW, for HSAD no extra water is added); (2) produces almost 2.5 times more biofertilizer, with roughly 233 kg/t OFMSW compared to 100 kg/t OFMSW of the WAD plant; (3) it has significantly higher energy efficiency with an energy ratio (ER) of 26.4 %, whereas for WAD the ER is 68 %; and, (4) it presents a significant GHG mitigation potential, reaching yearly savings of 3,892,587.56 kg CO2eq. With this, HSAD proves to be a suitable solution for the Brazilian conditions and offers tangible diverse benefits to treat the OFMSW.
