Biogas Potential of Kitchen Waste at Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan

A significant biogas potential was identified from kitchen waste at Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan, offering a viable solution for waste management and energy generation. The study assessed waste types in university hostels to estimate total in-campus biogas potential, prioritizing ecological justice and economic feasibility. By analyzing kitchen waste data, researchers conceptualized a model that could integrate into social cost-minimization frameworks and carbon budgets, addressing both environmental and economic challenges posed by waste generation.
