A question about biogas production using Opuntia
A question from Graham: Biogas is being produced commercially in some developing countries using Opuntia as feedstock. There seems to be no effort by NGOs to investigate its potential for providing energy for poor people though very easy to digest in simple digesters, am I right?
1 Answer
In order to digest Opuntia a more sophisticated technology is necessary. Simple household digesters will soon come to their limits. especially pretreatment will be necessary.

Micha, this clearly means that using Opuntia as a feedstock is more complex and therefore more expensive, but is there work being done by any NGOs to investigate it still? Harriette
