  Introduction With increasing waste management challenges and rising LPG costs,  Biogas in Kerala   has become a practical and sustainable solution for households. Domestic biogas plants convert daily kitchen waste into clean cooking gas and organic manure, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective investment for families across the state. Kerala, known for its high population density and significant organic waste generation, is ideally suited for decentralized waste management solutions like domestic biogas systems. What is Domestic Biogas? Domestic biogas plants are small-scale systems designed for individual households. These units use anaerobic digestion to break down kitchen waste, vegetable peels, leftover food, and other organic materials in the absence of oxygen. This process produces: Methane-rich biogas  — used for cooking Bio-slurry  — a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer By installing a domestic unit, households can actively participate in sustai...
