The over-dependence on fossil fuels as primary energy source has led to various problems such as greenhouse effect, human health problems and degradation of environment (climate change). Due to recent rise in oil and natural gas prices, renewable sources of energy are gaining more importance and leading the way is methane gas obtained from biomass waste fermentation. This study investigates the possibility of producing biogas from water hyacinth in co-digestion with sugarcane bagasse and cow dung – replacing firewood as a source of fuel. In this work, different proportion of water hyacinth and sugarcane bagasse are used keeping the amount of cow dung constant for anaerobic digestion and analysed for biogas yield after 15th, 20th and 25th day of inoculation.
