This chapter presents a study on the investigation of the potentials of commercial biogas production
from biodegradable waste in Benin metropolis. The study was carried out in two phases. The first
phase involved characterization of solid waste generated and determination of the quantity of potential
feedstock for biogas production in Benin metropolis and the second phase was determination of the
amount of biogas obtainable from biodegradable waste in the metropolis. The results from the study
showed that an average daily generation rate of 0.358 kg per person per day (ppd.) of solid waste is
generated in study area. Food waste accounted for about 78.5% of the generated solid waste
representing 0.281 kg per person per day (ppd.) and a total daily food waste generation of about
305.1 tonnes. Based on this value for food waste the obtainable biogas was estimated to be
28,836.91 m3 of biogas per day. This volume of biogas can provide cooking gas for about 26
thousand families per month in Benin metropolis or alternatively can be utilized to generate about
49.0MW of electricity per day.
