Abstract

We have studied the fuel use of cattle dung. Data on substitution for fertilizers by farm yard manure formed the basis of this work. The use of dung as fuel is more efficient than its use as manure. Dung (after providing energy for manufacturing fertilizers equal to the nutrient content of the dung in India) used as fuel will provide power equal to 2000 MEe, which is 1.3 times the power generation capacity of the Punjab.
