Dear Gasan, thanks for the information. Back in 1983, I spent about 6 months in Freiburg, Germany, conducting my own research in plant physiology, At that time I was not particularly interested in biogas technology, but I used to attend a number of the guest lectures which the university offered. I remember hearing a lecture in which the lecturer said that a biogas plant was capable of digesting any organic substance, even petroleum. All one had to do was to give it enough time. He then told us how the system developed by him was being used by a paper factory in Germany to obtain biogas from lignin, which remained behind after the cellulose in the wood was extracted for making paper. I do not remember the name of the lecturer. . Yours A.D.Karve
