Abstract

Update information on biogas production by the breakdown of organic matter in the presence of consortium of microbes, under anaerobic condition, has been well documented. In this connection, global methods of biogas production, enrichment, compression, and storage for energy generation highlighted its potential application in meeting energy needs both in developing and developed countries which have also been described with facts and figures. Special attention has been paid to highlight commercialization of biogas production technology to meet the challenge in solving rural energy crisis under effective management program. In addition, technology on the generation of electricity from biogas to solve localized energy problem has also been narrated with catchy graphic models. Unlike other forms of renewable energy, biogas neither has any geographical limitations nor required technology for producing energy, and it is neither complex nor monopolistic.
