Power Generation

• Biogas can partly replace diesel to run IC (internal

combustion) engines for water pumping.
• Small industries like flour mill, saw mill, oil mill etc.
• Biogas can similarly be used to produce electricity. Dual
fuel engines (80% biogas & 20% diesel) are now –a-days
gaining importance for using.
