METHOD FOR PRODUCING FOOD, FIBER AND ENERGY USING SUSTAINABLE DRY BIOMASS

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for mass producing three of microbial protein, a biodegradable plastic and methane gas by using incomplete combustion gases of a dry biomass and an organic waste as raw materials and making good use of it as a substrate for methanogen. PSOLUTION: (1) A dry biomass such as lumber, etc., and an organic waste such as plastic, etc., are partially oxidized at a high temperature to give carbon monoxide gas, hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas, which are used as a substrate for methanogens to mass produce methanogens and to make a food and a feed (microbial protein) from microbial cells. (2) An organic waste is partially oxidized at a high temperature to give carbon monoxide gas, hydrogen gas, carbon dioxide gas, etc., which are used as a substrate for methanogens to produce a biodegradable plastic such as a poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid, etc. (3) An organic waste is partially oxidized at a high temperature to give carbon dioxide gas, hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas, which are used as a substrate for methanogens to mass produce methane gas.
