This project explores the sequential anaerobic co-digestion and hydrothermal carbonization of coffee husk with animal manure, offering a sustainable solution to waste management. By enhancing biogas yield and improving digestate quality for organic fertilizer, this approach reduces dependence on imported fuels and agrochemicals while mitigating environmental pollution and odour emissions, promoting a circular bio-economy.
