Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic digestion of biowastes in India: Opportunities, challenges and research needs.
Lena Breitenmoser,Thomas Gross,Ragini Huesch,Julius Rau,Hiya Dhar,Sunil Kumar,Christoph Hugi,Thomas Wintgens +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that the multi-facetted value propositions of AD - including biowaste treatment, energy and fertilizer products - have only been partially tapped due to the exclusive focus on biogas, and the new sector policies provide important enabling factors for change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of biogas production to reduce firewood consumption in remote high-elevation Himalayan communities in Nepal
Thomas Gross,Alex Zahnd,Suman Adhikari,Abhishek Kaphre,Subodh Sharma,Bivek Baral,Sunil Kumar,Christoph Hugi +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare firewood consumption with biogas potential from organic substrates in a community with 39 households at 3150m a.s. in Jumla District, Nepal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methane potential from municipal biowaste: Insights from six communities in Maharashtra, India.
Lena Breitenmoser,Hiya Dhar,Thomas Gross,Milan Bakre,Ragini Huesch,Christoph Hugi,Thomas Wintgens,Rakesh Kumar,Sunil Kumar +8 more
TL;DR: Results underpin that municipal biowastes is a suitable substrate for AD in India, however, low purity of available biowaste resulted in lower CH4 yields compared to recent studies using source-segregatedBiowaste.

Modular Pico-hydropower System for Remote Himalayan Villages
Alex Zahnd,Mark Stambaugh,Derek Jackson,Thomas Gross,Christoph Hugi,Rick Sturdivant,James Yeh,Subodh Sharma +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a modular pico-hydropower (PHP) system (1-5 kW) was proposed in the village of Moharigaun in the Jumla district of Nepal whose capacity can be expanded as the village's power demand, population, and ability to operate and maintain the system grow.
