ATL Biogas Energy Demo Kit: Measure Methane Production with Arduino and OLED Display

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Watch methane gas build-up from banana peels and vegetable scraps on a crisp OLED display — this kit transforms a simple sealed container into a living biogas energy lab. Designed for Atal Tinkering Labs and CBSE classrooms, it bridges the gap between textbook theory and real renewable energy observation. Students fill the container with everyday kitchen waste, connect the MQ-4 sensor via the tubing, and begin tracking gas concentration within hours.

What You'll Build

A fully functional biogas monitoring station that continuously measures methane concentration, displaying real-time PPM values on an OLED screen. After assembly, you'll add organic waste to the sealed container, let anaerobic digestion begin, and watch the numbers climb over days — just like a miniature biogas plant. The Arduino Nano reads the MQ-4’s analog output, converts it to meaningful data, and updates the OLED, giving you a live window into renewable energy generation.

What You'll Learn

• Interface an MQ-4 methane sensor with Arduino Nano and calibrate its response
• Read analog sensor data and map it to real-world PPM values for biogas monitoring
• Display live gas concentration and status on a 0.96‑inch OLED using I2C
• Understand the anaerobic digestion cycle and how organic waste turns into energy

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

CBSE students (Class 6-10) diving into renewable energy projects, ATL Tinkering Lab innovators preparing for district science exhibitions, and eco-club members wanting a hands-on biogas experiment. It’s also an excellent starter for Smart India Hackathon junior tracks where teams prototype biomass-to-energy monitoring. Educators in B.Tech ECE/EEE introductory labs can use it to teach sensor integration before moving to advanced IoT platforms.
