Abstract : Bioenergy is a renewable solution with the potential to address energy crises and waste management, promoting a circular economy. To unlock its benefits, optimizing biogas production becomes most important. Our study is focused on utilizing biogas from food waste produced at the Basaveshwar engineering college girls’ hostel in Bagalkote through anaerobic digestion. In laboratory trials, 15.6 Kg of food waste yielded 293.38 cm3 of biogas. This research also influenced the design of a digester for Basaveshwar engineering colleges girls hostel effectively tackling energy and waste challenges or its specific population.

Keywords : Bio Energy, Biogas Production, Food Waste, Anaerobic Digestion.
