Renewable Sources of Energy: Prospects and Issues

Biomass Energy
Biogas Potential in Kolar :

Taking dung yield for cattle as 3 kg/animal/day, for buffaloe 12 kg/animal/day. Per capita requirement of biogas as 0.34 m3/day. Kolar taluk data shows that in 132 villages biogas can meet energy demand of 15% of population. In 130 villages biogas potential is sufficient to meet 15-30% of population's energy requirements. In 30 villages Biogas can meet energy demand of more than 45% of village population.

Taking dung yield for cattle as 7.5 kg/animal/day, for buffaloe 15 kg/animal/day. Per capita requirement of biogas as 0.34 m3/day. This shows that in Kolar 116 villages can meet domestic energy requirement of more than 45% of population, In 84 villages potential can meet 30 - 45% of population.
