Abstract: This research work is focus on the problem of fossil fuel (Diesel) availability and its emission. Due to that we work to used renewable and locally available fuel that is Biogas. Biogas can be used as a fuel for SI as well as CI Engine. For this work we take a single cylinder four stroke diesel engine which was modified for runs in the duel fuel mode. For this experimentation biogas was injected in different quantity and obtained various performance and emission parameters like FC, BSFC, BTE, CO, CO2, HC.. The result shows at low load condition when BG (2gm/min) added in diesel, BSFC of diesel reduces to 7.04% and when BG (8gm/min) added in diesel, BSFC of diesel reduces to 14.08%, And Also CO2 emission is reduces to 1.196% at low load condition.
