Abstract: The primary challenge facing the globe today is finding environmentally friendly, ecologically balanced ways to use bio-waste as a source of energy. Typically, the term “biogas†or “renewable energy†refers to a gas created when organic matter breaks down without oxygen. Thus, this study designed and developed a 200L miniature facility capable of transforming bio-waste into renewable energy using locally available materials and tested under the existing weather condition in Awka, Anambra State. The facility developed in this study was utilized to decompose cow manure anaerobically, producing 21.9L of cooking gas overall over the course of a 35-day retention period. Additionally, the water boiling test demonstrated that the purified cooking gas’ high methane gas content development of the digesting chamber using high-density polyethylene plastic (HDPE) allows a reduction in the overall cost of setting up a small-scale plant.
