Abstract

Renewable energy technologies are currently competing favourably in the energy sector, all geared toward achieving a more sustainable and efficient energy use. Amongst other renewable sources: solar, hydro, geothermal, wind and biomass, biomass is amongst the most vastly explored in terms of research and applications. In India, large amount of kitchen waste, vegetable waste, garden waste are obtained which is given in municipal solid waste which adds to management of waste. If it can be utilized for better purposes it can reduce load to municipal solid waste management. This waste being organic in nature can be used for biogas production. The main objective of this paper is to study and compare the combination of cow dung, poultry waste kitchen waste and garden waste for the generation of bio-gas. Three biogas reactors were designed to analyse the comparative study between cow dung and poultry waste. Methane analysis was done and found that the total biogas produced from the three reactors were 67%, 53% and 38% respectively
