The economic prosperity and quality of life in a region are closely linked to the level of its per capita energy consumption. In India more than 70% of the total population inhabits rural areas and their 85-90% of energy requirement is being met by bioresources. With dwindling resources, attention of planners is diverted to viable energy alternatives to meet the rural energy demand. Biogas as fuel is one such alternative, which can be obtained by anaerobic digestion of livestock waste, domestic and farm waste, abundantly available in the countryside. Livestock manure may play an increasing role in Indian energy production scenario due to its highest population in world. This book throws the light on biomethanation potential of livestock excreta.
