Abstract
Agricultural waste generation including 1207 million tonnes (MT) of animal dung and 498 MT of crop residues represents an important source of energy in India. A total of 869 MT of recoverable animal dung and 177 MT of surplus crop residues can produce 54 Billion m3 of biogas under anaerobic codigestion to provide 622 PJ of cooking energy per annum fulfilling a major portion of cooking energy requirement of the country. Analysis reveals that the biogas potential of the country can be enhanced by 50% by application of codigestion technology over single feedstock digestion. Financial viability analysis carried out for the codigestion technology reveals its economic superiority over already existing single feed stock digestion.
