Design and development of biogas plant for powering IC engine

Abstract

The fuels what we are using nowadays majorly for our transport and electricity requirements are mainly fossil fuels. Like a big populated country like INDIA it is difficult to avail for the fossil fuels(petrol, diesel, coal, etc,.) for a long period because they are under crises. And moreover the important factor concerned with their usage, is the pollution. And on other side nuclear energy requires very carefully handling technique. To overcome these obstacles we must look into some alternative options for the fossil fuels. Alternating to the renewable energy resources (biomass, biogas, wind, hydro power, etc.,) is the only way to cope up with the increasing demand and pollution. Biogas has the properties which make it possible to use conveniently for IC engines. And also, the wastes collected after the production of can be used as a very good fertilizer in the fields. Thus, using biogas as a fuel not only reduces the atmospheric pollution but, also increases the food production by using the waste products as a energy rich manure. The production of biogas also generates local employment to thousands of people and also increases the rural economy.
