Green energy has led to an increase in biogas plants and consequently to an increased use of organic waste. Kitchen wastes are reliable because of their potential to yield methane. Biogas is a combustible mixture of bio-methane typically 50–75%, carbon (IV) oxide and also other trace gases. By monitoring the system with an indicator of digester behaviour and various parameter sensors, the plant can be operated successfully. For the increased performance, temperature is an important factor. Solar assisted biogas generation system offers several benefits. Thus, by increasing digester temperature using solar aided biogas is recommended to obtain higher amount of biogas yield. Reasonable pH moisture is vital for a fruitful anaerobic digestion course. Small particle sizes, suitable mixing of waste and water ratio are important factors too. This paper presents aspects of biogas plant with a smart system to monitor the system and enhance biogas production. It emphases on effective robust indicators, applicable monitoring methods. The details and facts presented here intend to boost and to foment biogas via anaerobic digestion. This is also beneficial for the development in research of biogas monitoring and management system.
