Abstract
It is essential to find alternatives to fresh water to produce biofuels in the UAE where the consumption per capita of water is almost double that of global consumption. This study uses a local halophyte plant Salicornia sinus-persica found in the arid region of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The objective of the work is to determine the biomethane potential using seawater as media and anaerobic sludge as inoculum. The experimental work was carried out in batch mode and Gas Chromatography was used to analyze the biomethane production. The results showed an increment of biomethane potential over a period of 48 days, the maximum value obtained was 22.12 mlCH4/gVS.
