Community biogas plant - A boon for solid waste management

Energy is the prime factor of economic growth and development. In India about 70% of our population lives in villages. The effective utilization of energy is very low in rural areas. Increased demand of fuel wood for cooking and timber due to significant increase in population is resulting into rapid depletion of forest resources. The rural energy problem is multidimensional and needs to be tackled through a multidimensional integrated approach which would include augmentation of energy supply resources for the rural peoples. On account of availability of local resources, community biogas plant is best suited for rural sector.
