India produces around 62 million metric tons of organic waste each year, which contributes to environmental degradation through methane emissions from landfills. However, it also presents an opportunity for sustainable energy production by converting organic waste into biogas.

During the anaerobic digestion process, acidogenic bacteria breaks down organic matter producing volatile fatty acids and other intermediates.

During secondary digestion in anaerobic digestion, methanogenic bacteria break down volatile fatty acids and intermediates, producing methane gas as the final product.

Compressed biogas is produced by compressing the methane gas generated by anaerobic digestion and can be used as a clean fuel, while the digestate becomes organic fertilizer.

Using biomethane as fuel promotes renewable energy and reduces global warming. Organic fertilizer enhances farming health and practices.

Adopting renewable energy sources and sustainable practices helps reduce GHG emissions.
