ABSTRACT

Biogas appears to have potential as an alternative energy source particularly for rural community. The technology is simple and is booming in the world energy markets. Biomass resources are being available worldwide, new high technology with improved efficiency plants have been introduced. While based on ongoing research and development in this field smart biogas plants will be in operation soon. This overview of some salient points and perspectives of biogas technology explains the fundamental processes, basic technology used in production of biogas and available resources. The biogas plants can be used where ever the bio-waste is available/ dumped. The study suggests that biogas technology must be encouraged, promoted, and invested in for implementation and demonstration, especially in remote rural areas.
