Abstract:

In Indian scenario, Biogas can be a substitute for dung and firewood, it can meet the rural energy demand and also become a clean source of energy. It is a renewable energy source and can become a replacement for natural gas and Liquid petroleum gas. Different tests that can help in accessing biogas as a contender for new generation energy source are controlled cooking test, kitchen performance test, boiling test etc. 1.0 m3 of biogas is equal in energy content to 1.7 L of bio ethanol, 0.97m3 of natural gas and 1.1 L of gasoline. This paper throws light upon the progress of biogas technology in India, suggesting how this valuable potent resource can be used for future sustainability. This study can be helpful in implementing biogas technology in many rural areas across India thereby establishing social and economic stability.
