One of the basic aspects of sustainable development strategy involves investments in green technologies, including energy production from renewable sources. Biomass, special organic waste which belongs to “green sources” of energy can be used in the methane fermentation process of biogas production to generate heat and electricity. An important consideration related to the production of biogas is associated with the applicability of waste resources derived from agricultural production and from the food industry, including Cattle slurry, slaughterhouse waste, fruit and vegetable wastes as well as others. The operation of biogas plants provides considerable benefits to the environment, resulting from the controlled fermentation process and its application in the production of useful energy, as it can provide reduction of the emission of methane and other greenhouse gases. Atmosphere contamination and fast weather change have compelled scientists and entrepreneurs to seek eco-friendly solutions for saving the earth. The objective of this study is food waste management through biogas production. Various parameters were studied during biogas production like total solid, pH, Volatile Solid, Moisture Content, Carbon Content and Chemical Oxygen Demand. The present study is helpful to set up small scale biogas plant with locally available waste material.
