INTRODUCTION
• Biogas is an important renewable energy resource for rural areas in India.
• It is produced by anaerobic digestion of biological wastes.

• It is an environment friendly, clean, cheap and versatile fuel.
• Biogas generally comprise of 55-65 % methane, 35-45 % carbon dioxide, 0.5-1.0 % hydrogen sulfide and traces of water vapour. • Biogas like Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cannot be liquefied under normal temperature and pressure.

BIOGAS TECHNOLOGY STATUS
• India has been pioneering country in developing simple and easy to operate biogas plants.
• The government of India has been running National Biogas and Manure Management Program (NBMMP) for the welfare of the weaker section of the society. • 100% Biogas engines are in operation in the country.

• Other urban waste projects include a 1 MW project based on cattle dung at Haebowal, Ludhiana; a 0.50 MW project for generation of power from biogas at sewage treatment plant at Surat, Gujarat; and a 150 kW pant for vegetable market and slaughter house waste and Vijaywada. • Another 300 kW project based on vegetable market waste in under commissioning at Chennai. Besides, about 25 waste-to-energy projects with an aggregate capacity of about 30 MW from a variety of industrial wastes also been setup in the country.

BIOGAS- FERTILIZER PLANTS: MOST IMPORTENT TOOL TO HANDLE METHANE
• Methane (Green house gas) released from three Landfills of Delhi during 2008: (Indian Express 29.01.2010) • Effect of methane is higher than from CO2 by: 74,000 tonnes

    Bovine Waste Methane Science Fair

    Biogas or bio-methane can be used as an alternative source of energy produced through oxygen free (anaerobic) digestion of organic matter in which organic material is processed into a liquid effluent and combustible biogas rich in methane. Generally, biogas contains 55% – 80% methane and 20% - 45% carbon dioxide (CO2). Reliant on the source of organic material and the managing of a anaerobic digestion system, small amount of other gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), and water vapor (H2O) may be created. Specifically, the methane component of the biogas will be fit for producing energy. (1) The methane can be utilized to produce heat, electricity, or both. For example, the methane can be used in in a gas engine to produce electricity, heat the digester, or burned in a conventional gas boiler to produce heat for a nearby apartment complex. (3)…

    Renewable Energy

    In Canada, municipal and industrial waste disposal is a considerable problem. Alberta is emerging as a major player in second-generation biofuel production from waste. Edmonton and Calgary municipal landfills employ technology to capture biogas and convert waste to useable biofuel. At an Edmonton landfill site, the waste to biofuel project aims to divert 30% of household waste to produce 38 million litres of viable biofuels annually for use in transport and energy. Led by Enerkem, this project will…

    Biofuels vs. Solar Engery

    Biofuels, although thought to be renewable and greenhouse efficient are actually not green to produce. Currently all around the world including Australia thousands of hectares of forests and farmland are being destroyed to produce feedstock capable of being turned into biofuels. In parts of Brazil endangered rainforests and animals are being destroyed to plant corn or sugar cane. It is thought that with the increasing need and want of more fossil fuel products, biofuels and solar energy will pave the way to a greener future. Crops such as corn, wheat and sugar cane will simply be burnt and the alcohol produced will power vehicles and machines. Whereas the use of solar panels for household electricity and also in some cases to power vehicles is thought to be a more “green-friendly” method of energy.…

    The Cost and Benefits of Biofuel for Society

    Secondly, biofuels are more environmentally friendly energy sources when compared to conventional energy sources. As biomass-based energy sources are potentially carbon dioxide neutral and recycle the same carbon atoms in the environment (Demirbas, 2008). That is, the carbon content of the biomass comes from the living organisms, once the carbon content is released into the atmosphere, it will be re-absorbed back by living organism through photosynthesis and hence it forms a carbon cycle with no net release of carbon content to the atmosphere. Moreover, biofuels contain much lower sulphur content than that of petrol and diesel such that the use of biofuel neither leads to air pollution nor global warming.…

    Cow Power

    The world population is expected to continue to grow. With growth, comes additional demand on our world energy resources. Most of energy source today however are from fossil fuel. Fossil fuel unfortunately is a non-renewable energy resource and it is completely unsustainable. The population in the United States alone is expected to more than double by 2050.What are we to do about our future energy demand? One of the answers to this fuel problem is bio-fuels. However, most of bio-fuels today are produced from the land and we will need all the land we can just in order for us to feed the world. The question now is, what is the solution? The solution is “Cow Power.” Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week: cow shit. The more politically correct term however is cow manure, but for those of us who have drove through or live near a dairy farm, we wouldn’t dare call the smell anything else but cow shit. Unbelievably, some creative genius has figured out a way to put this bad smells to better use. Cow power is a new undertaking of company like Elite Energy LLC and has gain popularity as a source of energy and supplemental incomes for dairy farmers all across the United States. As a matter of fact, there are methane digestion initiatives going on all over the world. The adaptability of anaerobic digestion process makes cow manure a viable option for producing electricity with minimal environment impacts.…

    Climate Change Case Study

    Gujarat has created a dynamic and investor friendly solar policy with a target to set up 500MW of Solar Energy Plants and also a wind power policy to make around 1300MW to 8000MW of energy. Gujarat leads the CDM Market in the country. Almost 40% of the Certified Emission reductions (CER) issued till 1st February 2009 in India are from Gujarat. The Bus Rapid Transport System (BRTS) has been implemented to shift about 40% of private vehicles to public transport which reduces the total emissions of CO2 by a great figure.70 compost plants out of 96 in India are situated only in Gujarat. India’s first 2 LNG terminals are in Gujarat. About 1 Million Auto Vehicles in Gujarat have been converted to CNG (Cleaner Fuel) in the last 4 years. Ahmedabad which was 4th polluted country in India has been shifted to 66th position by this great effort. 25000 Hectares of Mangrove Forest have been added in the Postal areas of Gujarat which will be working as strong Carbon Sink absorbing 50 tons of Carbon per Hectare. In Gujarat, the forestry department has achieved a goal of 14 trees per hectare which helps a lot to sink down the Carbon concentration. 3 lac water harvesting plants have been set up in the last 4 years to reuse the…
