The aim of this study is to produce biogas with household peelings. The peels used are cassava (PM), yam (PI) and plantain (PB) peels. The bibliographic study allowed us to know that this waste has a high yield of biogas. However, the production of biogas with these peelings has acidification problems linked to their acid pH and a high C/N ratio. The use of a digestate from the anaerobic digestion of cow dung as inoculum (I) and a neutralizer such as human urine and cassava effluent allowed the pH to be adjusted around neutrality, which which made it possible to produce flammable biogas with its various peelings.
Author Keywords: Biogas, household peelings, inoculum, human urine.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to produce biogas with household peelings. The peels used are cassava (PM), yam (PI) and plantain (PB) peels. The bibliographic study allowed us to know that this waste has a high yield of biogas. However, the production of biogas with these peelings has acidification problems linked to their acid pH and a high C/N ratio. The use of a digestate from the anaerobic digestion of cow dung as inoculum (I) and a neutralizer such as human urine and cassava effluent allowed the pH to be adjusted around neutrality, which which made it possible to produce flammable biogas with its various peelings.
