The focus of the research paper is to investigate the importance of biogas as an alternative energy
sources. A survey was done to ascertain the amount of biogas that can be generated from various feed stock.
A practical laboratory scale experimental design using agricultural waste was also done to find out the effects
of Alkaline [NaoH] on the volume of biogas generated using a mixture of pineapple, plantain and cassava
peelings as the feed stock. Results obtained reveals a high volume of gas generated when the operating
conditions inside the digester is maintained at moderately alkaline condition. Further findings also reveal that
the digester temperature remained within the range of 27 to 35.5°C throughout the period of experimentation.
