  Abstract

The generation of food waste in Korea amounts to 4.10 million per yeat, which corresponds to 820,000 dry ton of organic waste. This has been used traditionally as animal feed or soil conditioner, but its efficacy has remained doubtful in recent years. In this study as an alternative we considered methane production by anaerobic treatment, which has an advantage of 200 million US dollars over aerobic methods. The production of methane amounts to 4.40X108m3, 3.43% of 1.28X108m3, total natural gas used in Korea. Furthermore the methane from household kitchen food waste amounts to 28.9% of the total gas used in the kitchen.
