Biogas has been noted as a steady rising source of sustainable energy, but very few are aware of its innate potential and how to efficiently harness its energy. So far, issues of sustainability have been solved via the use of human waste, which can never be depleted. The commercialization and adaptability of biogas from human waste depend on the adoption of the usual septic tank and an efficient technology to enhance biogas quality. In this project, the design and construction of an efficient biogas compression system were proposed. This system is meant to compress the biogas for storage and commercial activity. It was observed that the extraction and enhancement chambers of the construction had >60% improvement. It is recommended that further work be carried out on the full automation of the system proposed.
