Abstract

Biogas is a renewable energy source with different production pathways and various excellent opportunities to use. Biogas refers to a gas produced by anaerobic digestion (AD) or fermentation of organic matter including manure, sewage sludge, municipal solid waste, biodegradable waste, energy crops, or other biodegradable feedstock. Biogas is comprised primarily of methane and carbon dioxide. In this review, we discussed the worldwide status of biogas production, history of the biogas digester, classification of biogas digester, and their advantages and disadvantages. The government policies on the use of kitchen-waste-based digesters and the social and environmental effects of the digesters are also discussed. More subsidies need to be given and more initiatives need to be taken by the government. The government has many policies for biogas digester plants; however, lack of proper awareness among people inhibits the adaptation of technology.
