MANAGING THE BIOGAS PRODUCTION USING THE GREEN MARKET WASTE

Abstract

In recent years, countries around the globe have concentrated on renewable energy options in consideration of the ever-increasing demand for energy, the oil prices and unpredictable supplies for conventional power production, as well as the well-known adverse effects of conventional energy source on environment and human health. Raw biogas consists primarily of methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), nitrogen (N2) and other trace components. The present research focuses on the processing of biogas in a domestic level scale biogas digester. Anaerobic digestion process was adopted. These experimental studies have been performed on domestic level to develop optimum process for biogas generation from organic waste of green market, for the purpose different samples were collected in different seasons. Pakistan has abundant raw material in the green market. Biogas produced from this green market waste is more cost effective and environment friendly, minimizes landfill waste, mitigates carbon dioxide.
