The Students have developed a prototype where the household kitchen waste is used to generate the Biogas as a replacement for regular LPG. The system has chopper unit and biodigester which are powered by solar energy. This system approximately generates sufficient amount of biogas which can be used to lit up a stove continuously for around 30-40 minutes with every 3kg waste. The system also includes single-axis solar tracking unit, to capture the maximum amount of solar energy by tracking the movement of the sun. Upon mass production, the system may cost about 20 thousand rupees and the payback period is estimated to be around 3 years.

SIH gave the platform, where the students, industry, and academia collaborate to turn the innovations into products. The prototype was rebuilt for the competition in just five days with the help of institute mentor Prof. Raghumanohar A. of Jain College of Engineering, Belagavi and also with the support of NIT mentors Dr. R. Anand, Dr. S. Vedraj and Mr. Dinesh Kumar. Industry mentors were Manjushree Tadvalkar and Jhumkee Iyengar. This was also their final year project guided by Dr. B. V. Madiggond.
