Due to the increasing demand for fossil fuels and environmental threat, a number of renewable sources of energy have been studied. Considering the present scenario there is a peak demand for energy in our country. An attempt is made to assess the suitability alternate fuel like Biogas production from kitchen waste by anaerobic digestion was investigated. In our JNTUA College, we have 7 hostels and the problem of kitchen waste management is highly inefficient. The problems can be met with a residual clean energy output in the form of biogas through a portable digester which can be installed from minimum resources. An original digester design is adopted in building a lab scale 20 L biogas plant. The digester consists of inclusions like inlet, outlet, gasline. Initially cow dung (inoculum) was added. After initial gas production, cow dung was co digested with food waste. Main ingredients of the food waste included rice, vegetables, banana peels etc., the kitchen waste had slightly higher solids and volatile solids (9.3% and 94.9%) content compared to cow dung (8.5% and 93.1%).
