“…Today the Indian dairy sector stands first in terms of milk production and contributes 20% of the world's total production (Pant et al, 2019). Farmers in India have witnessed many initiatives from the government to boost the milk production in the country, such as key village scheme (KVS), intensive cattle development project (ICDP) and operation flood (OF) (Pandian et al, 2015). Dairy enterprise development scheme (DEDS) was launched in the year 2010 to increase self-employment in the field of dairy farming, this may boost the biogas generation among dairy farmers in India.…”

Many studies have stated that the usage of traditional cooking fuels like firewood, dung, and coal has caused many unfortunate deaths in India. The alternative fuel sources like LPG and electricity are in scarce and. Today, researches in the area of biofuel or bioenergy are of prime interest to many researchers to contribute to sustainable energy sources. Bioenergy from cattle dung is one such area, particularly for a country like India where dairy farms is a major supplier of feedstock. In this study, using logistic regression methodology, we have analysed the socio-economic factors influencing the adoption of biogas digesters among dairy farmers in Karnataka, India. The study revealed that the number of cattle and family size are the key factors for biogas adoption and poor knowledge of the family size and cattle ratio is the key hurdle. Using cross-tabulation and some basic mathematical analysis, we concluded that the optimal number of cattle for one adult in a family is 1.
