MOTIVATION:
To realize sustainable energy supply as requirement for society’s growth and wealth, innovative solutions are required which counter global warming, nuclear danger and the shortage and price increase of fossil fuels. Biogas, in particular, as versatile and most valuable renewable resource can permanently reduce the dependence on fossil fuels in the long run.

Costly
Environmentally hazardous
Smoke and soot effects the cook badly
Non-renewable sources; has an end sometime in future
Time consuming and very uneasy to use
Increases pollution and green house gases
MERITS OF BIOGAS OVER OTHER FUELS
Sanitation - easy disposal of waste
Energy security - solution to depleting energy resources
Pollution control - green energy solution
Employment generation – can be managed by women self help groups
