Biogas, a sustainable renewable energy, has positive environmental impacts at local, national and global levels. This study was conducted in Barwani district of Madhya Pradesh to evaluate the impact of adoption of biogas plant on the socio-economic status of biogas users. Biogas fuel helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by displacing the consumption of fuel wood, agricultural residues and kerosene. The biogas used in a sustainable basis assures the CO2, associated with biogas combustion will be reabsorbed in the process of the growth of fodder and food for animals. All the CH4 and CO2 emissions that are associated with the combustion of fuel wood can be accounted as being replaced by a biogas system. Biogas technology is being promoted in India chiefly under the aspect of energy. The focus on this derives from the crucial energy supply situation for the population in the country.
The result revealed that the majority (62.00 per cent) of the respondents possessed medium impact of adoption of biogas plant on the socio-economic status, while 21.33 per cent of the respondents possessed high and 16.67 per cent possessed low impact of adoption of biogas plant on the socio-economic status.
