Abstract:
The use of biogas technology offers the potential to increase rural energy availability while reducing dependency on fossil fuels. This technique is crucial, particularly in rural regions where there are sometimes energy shortages. In addition to being converted into power for use in industry, biogas may be utilised for heating and cooking in residential settings. The purpose of this study was to see whether Bharat Agro Vet Industries could generate energy and biogas from chicken waste. A appropriate technique for turning trash into biogas is described along with an estimation of the amount of waste produced by chicken raising. The amount of power produced from the poultry waste was then calculated. A 62.50 HP biogas generator working for 10–12 hours per day produces 680 units of energy per day when fed 5–6 tonnes of chicken waste each day. The use of this technology results in annual fuel savings of 113150 ltr. and annual LPG savings of 78475 kg. The project will meet all of the industry's energy needs for 54.50 lakhs with a payback time of 2.58 years.
