- The work identified a potential flaw in the current methodologies in determining biogas yield from biomass and proposed a correction mechanism for a globally used technique to determine the biogas potential of substrates for anaerobic digestion. This modification would prevent a 20% overestimation in biogas yield and lead to more accurate plant construction and operation. Was part of the PhD thesis of Reilly. Reilly has become a EPRSC Research Fellowship recipient at Harper Adams. This work supported a Newton Fund UK-Thailand travel and collaboration grant to USW to in the area of bio-hydrogen and biomethane production from agricultural residues.
