Frass4Gas: Thailand
Basic research
Thai insect farming residues for biogas production
- Funding: Agency for Education and Internationalisation (OeAD) and ASEA-UNINET
- Period: October 2022 – October 2023
- Budget: €10,400
- Role: Principal investigator
- Collaborator: Siripuk Suraporn (Mahasarakham University, Thailand)
Description
This project examines whether frass from four farmed insects (silkworm, cricket, black soldier fly and mealworm) can serve as a co-substrate for anaerobic digestion. Earlier lab pre-trials indicated that black soldier fly frass can increase biogas yields from cattle manure.
