Siaw, Mathew Nana Kyei | Oduro-Koranteng, Elizabeth Ayaw | Dartey, Yaw Obeng Okofo
A humongous amount of food goes to waste yearly. The use of renewable energy sources is encouraged to reduce global warming. Food waste as a source of energy and water as a food-water-energy nexus has shown to be a viable source of renewable energy. This paper proposes a food waste recycling system that uses a mechanical presser to the extraction of moisture from the food waste with its desiccate being fed to an anaerobic digester to produce biogas. Literature on the topic is reviewed and the benefits and limitations of the system are also discussed.
