Abstract Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) has emerged as a promising lignocellulosic substrate for anaerobic digestion; however, its biogas production potential and energy recovery efficiency are strongly influenced by varietal characteristics and operating temperature. In this study, eleven sorghum varieties were evaluated for their biogas production potential, biodigestibility, and theoretical energy recovery efficiency under mesophilic (37 ℃) and thermophilic (55 ℃) conditions.

India’s LPG crisis, worsened by Gulf tensions and import dependence, has exposed the fragility of its cooking fuel system. With over 332 million LPG connections and restaurants hit hard, alternatives like PNG and electric cooking carry their own risks. Biogas, produced from abundant organic waste, offers a domestic, clean, LPG-like solution that strengthens energy security and cuts emissions.

The promise of grocery deliveries within minutes has become a defining feature of contemporary urban convenience. Behind this pace, however, is a labour force whose strength has reached 12 million in India, and is expected to grow to 24 million by 2030. The gig economy is now a significant pillar in the Indian labour market, valued at almost $20 billion, and with 12 unicorns.
