Technological Intervention in Institutions through Biogas Plants

Dr. D. Sumathi

Abstract :

Energy is the prime factor of economic growth and development with increasing industrial and agricultural activities. It is the vital input for economic and social development. This growing consumption of energy has also resulted in the country becoming increasingly dependent on fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. Thus 21st century has been witnessing serious threat to progress of human civilization due to dearth of energy. India is on the ink of a massive waste disposal crisis and is likely to face a massive crisis situation in the coming years. The enormous increase in the quantum of waste materials led to an increasing awareness world–wide about an urgent need to adopt efficient, scientific and safe method for the treatment, processing and disposal of wastes. Among the various technologies available for conversion of organic waste, bio–methanation appears to be the most desirable as it results in the production of methane rich gas (biogas), an alternative of conventional fuel and digested slurry, which can be used as an organic fertilizer.
