BMP testing — substrate methane potential — page 8
BMP (biochemical methane potential) is the amount of methane that can be obtained from a unit of organic mass of a substrate in a batch test. We compile the results of many publications for each substrate, calculate a weighted mean and show all the curves at once.

BMP in Ethiopia: coffee husks, pulp and mucilage and water hyacinth as biogas substrates
A 2018 study assessed the methane potential of coffee processing waste in Ethiopia: from about 31 NmL CH₄/g VS (parchment) to about 295 (mucilage). We add the context of research on water hyacinth.
