• Anaerobic Digestion of Hemicellulosic Sugars Implemented in ADM1 

      Karlsen, Vibeke Bredvold; Ghimire, Nirmal; Bakke, Rune; Bergland, Wenche Hennie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Lignocellulosic biomass is a sustainable and renewable source for both solids like biochar and biomethane by anaerobic digestion (AD). Hot water extraction (HWE) improves the total utilization of the biomass and produces ...
    • Liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass for methane production: A review 

      Ghimire, Nirmal; Bakke, Rune; Bergland, Wenche Hennie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Hydrothermal pretreatment (HTP) (Hot water extraction (HWE) and steam pretreatment) and pyrolysis have the potential to liquefy lignocellulosic biomass. HTP produces hydrolysate, consisting mainly of solubilized hemicellulose, ...
    • Thermophilic methane production from hydrothermally pretreated norway spruce (Picea abies) 

      Ghimire, Nirmal; Bakke, Rune; Bergland, Wenche Hennie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Norway spruce (Picea abies) is an industrially important softwood species available in northern Europe and can be used to produce bio-methane after proper pretreatment to overcome its recalcitrant complex structure. Hot ...
