Abstract The study was conducted to evaluate biogas production from three batch digesters containing Euphorbia tirucalli and different chemicals. Biogas production from Euphorbia tirucalli with 600g ash in 1:10, 1:15 and 1:20 Euphorbia tirucalli to water ratio was attained 49.23, 27.20 and 14.13 liters, respectively. The production potential of Euphorbia tirucalli with 300 g lime in 1:10, 1:15 and 1:20 Euphorbia tirucalli to water ratio were 41.72, 29.57 and 9.77 liters, respectively. The yields of biogas from Euphorbia tirucalli with 25g Na2CO3 in 1:10, 1:15 and 1:20 Euphorbia tirucalli to water ratio were 20.33, 11.17 and 4.20 liters, respectively. There is highly significant difference among the biogas generated from Euphorbia tirucalli with 600 g ash, Euphorbia tirucalli with 300 g lime, Euphorbia tirucalli with 25g sodium carbonate in 1:10 slurry to water ratio. There is no significant difference among the treatments of Euphorbia tirucalli with 600g ash and Euphorbia tirucalli with 300g lime in 1:15 Euphorbia tirucalli to water ratio. Generating biogas from Euphorbia tirucalli is economically very significant to produce sufficient amount of biogas to solve energy deficiency.
