The application of pretreatment methods can alter such properties and can improve biogas production. In this study alkali pre-treatment was applied to improve methane production potential from banana peelings and co-digestion with horse manure.Banana peelings were pre-treated by the addition of NaOH respectively with 3%, 6%, (by weight) at 55°C for 50 h using NaOH pre-treatment. After that pre-treated banana peelings and horse manure were stirred by the ratio
