Environmental pollution is one of the major problems plaguing the modern world today. The environment and the various elements in the environment need energy to meet their need. So there is a need to produce energy from different sources. Solid Waste is one such material that can be used as a source for deriving energy. The studies on conversion of solid waste to energy have resulted several alternatives including the bio gas generation from biodegradable organic waste.There are several alternatives in the estimation of bio gas yield from the biodegradable fraction of solid waste. The different types of biodegradable organic waste may comprises of cow dung, pig waste, poultry manure, food waste,vegetable waste, kitchen waste etc. The present study focuses on production of bio gas using cow dung with vegetable waste and poultry manure. In this study, by doing experimentation it is observed that the production of bio gas from co-digestion of different organic waste is more than individual waste. The highest yield of bio gas is obtained from co-digestion of cow dung with poultry manure than co-digestion of cow dung with the vegetable waste.
