The sudden switchover from the fossil-fuel energy machineries to renewable energy would throw 13% of the work force into joblessness. It would take close to two decades to reintegrate existing energy players in developing countries to renewable energy option. In this research we proposed a green solution where existing energy player can be integrated into renewable energy option at no cost. The biogas motor generator was proposed so that the poorest homes could afford it. The technicalities of the biogas motor generator was discussed i.e., considering the vital role of control valve in sending 52% methane into the generator. It was observed that a valve of cross-sectional area 0.8 mm2 would withstand the anomalies of designing a biogas generator without the purifier chamber.
