We should go for creating an Organic Processing Facility to create biogas which will be more cost effective, eco-friendly, cut down on landfill waste, generate a high-quality renewable fuel, and reduce carbon dioxide & methane emissions. The anaerobic digestion of kitchen waste produces biogas, a valuable energy resource. Anaerobic digestion is a microbial process for production of biogas, which consists of primarily methane (CH 4 ) & carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Mixture of vegetable wastes was an-aerobically digested in a 2 L capacity lab scale batch reactors. Biogas can be used as energy source and also for numerous purposes. But, any possible application requires knowledge & information about the composition and quantity of constituents in the biogas produced. The continuously-fed digester requires addition of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to maintain the alkalinity and pH to 7. For this reactor we have prepared our Inoculum than we installed batch reactors, to which inoculum of previous cow dung slurry along with the kitchen waste was added to develop our own Inoculum. A combination of this mixed inoculum was used for biogas production at 37°C in laboratory (small scale) reactor (2 L capacity). In our study, the production of biogas and methane is done from the starch-rich and sugary material and is determined at laboratory scale using the simple digesters. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 31-08-2018 Date of acceptance: 15-09-2018 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. INTRODUCTION Everything, in essence, is about energy. There is no doubt now that energy is fundamental for our development. Energy is vital for the internal and external security of a country and energy issues are at the core of social, environmental and economic security challenges. The search for energy alternatives involving locally available renewable resources is one of the main concerns of governments, scientists and business people worldwide. Biogas is defined as a combustible mixture of gases produced by micro-organisms when biological wastes are allowed to ferment in the absence of air in closed container. Biogas is mainly composed of 50 to 70 percent methane (CH4), 30 to 40 percent carbon dioxide (CO2) and low amount of other gases. Biogas is about 20 % lighter than air and has an ignition temperature in the range of 6500C to 7500C. It is odourless and colourless gas that burns with clear blue flame similar to that of liquid petroleum (LPG) gas.
