What is Biogas?
Biogas is produced when organic waste breaks down in an oxygen-free (anaerobic) environment inside a sealed digester. Microorganisms convert carbohydrates, fats and proteins into methane-rich gas — typically 55–70% methane — that burns cleanly for cooking, much like LPG but without fossil fuels.
The leftover slurry, called digestate, is a nutrient-rich organic fertiliser that improves soil health without chemical inputs. For Kerala farms growing rubber, coconut, pepper and vegetables, this closed-loop system turns a waste problem into two valuable outputs: free cooking gas and better crop yields.
Biogas plants range from compact household units fed by kitchen scraps to larger institutional digesters handling hundreds of kilograms of waste daily. Sonetec assesses your waste volume, available space and gas requirement before recommending the right capacity.
