Biomethane and hydrogen are promising elements in the transition towards sustainable energy, due to their capacity mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. In Ghana, efforts promote waste valorization for energy production underway; however, organic conversion into biomethane still needs be expanded. This study aims evaluate potential of producing from municipal solid Cape Coast, injection national grid. The upgrading biogas obtained anaerobic digestion food/organic wastes was used generate biomethane. modified Buswell Equation data literature were estimate amount hydrogen. environmental impact assessed using CO2 equivalent findings reveal that Coast generated approximately 6,400 tons food 2021, with a projection 11,000 by 2050. quantities estimated at 3,700,000 m³ 784,000 kg respectively. Their reaches 6,600,000 1,400,000 Converting is an eco-friendly method management use renewable Ghana. Strategies can integrated Ghana policies encourage waste-to-energy projects.
