A number of important conclusions were made from the project:

•  The biogas plant was able to mechanically handle the kitchen waste.

•  The process worked well biologically.

•  The average amount of kitchen waste collected was 4.2 kg per household per week.

•  The moisture content of the kitchen waste was 77%; i.e. the dry matter content was 23% of which 92% was volatile.
67% of the volatile matter was transformed to biogas, giving a biogas production rate of 140m³ per tonne with a calorific value of 22 MJ/m³.
