Investigation and Analysis of Renewable Energy from Bio and Solid Waste

Abstract

This investigation explores the possibility of utilizing bio and solid waste to produce power as renewable energy in every residential house. Fossil fuels are depleting very fast and environmental pollution is also caused due to their combustion. An effort is taken to generate electric power by the high combustion rate methane gas released by the bio and solid wastes from the residence. Anaerobic digestion is adopted to produce methane gas from the waste dumped in any house. This methane gas is made to run a single cylinder diesel engine coupled to a single phase alternator. Power thus generated will be sufficient to any single residential house.
