Domesticating Biogas – A Viable Alternative to LPG in India

Abstract

This paper presents a study on implementing a biogas system to replace LPG in Indian households. It focuses on anaerobic digestion of cattle dung and kitchen waste for biogas production. The research includes theoretical exploration, quantitative calculations, project methodology, and design of the system. Key findings show that about 2.65 kg of biomass per day can substitute LPG in an average household, highlighting biogas as a sustainable energy alternative. The study contributes to knowledge on sustainable energy, offering insights for residential biogas systems and future optimization. It promotes a greener, more sustainable future.
