Abstract
Biogas is one of the best future alternatives against depleting fossil fuel. Current
Indian production of biogas is very low. There are many challenges for BioCNG
production which is suitable for vehicle use but needs to adapt various
technologies to enhance the content of biomethane.
Therefore, in current article, technological improvement in Biogas production
intended for high production has been discussed in detail.
For use in vehicle, enhanced methane is required. Current article had focused
on concise presentation of accumulated knowledge in current past. Bio-CNG can
be produced from various biomass biowaste, kitchen waste, algae, and other
biowastes which may be a very good option for Bio-CNG production. We have
discussed socioeconomic challenges, suitable sources, barrier in production of
biogas, and biochemical steps in production of biogas in normal verses reactor
conditions, and also application of nanotechnology for green energy applications
have been discussed.
