  ABSTRACT: Biogas is gaining prominence as a renewable energy source with significant potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate environmental impacts associated with fossil fuels. This study presents an improved biogas production estimation method using machine learning (Ridge Regression, Lasso Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, LightGBM, and GBM) combined with explainable AI (XAI) techniques to enhance model interpretability. Our rigorous evaluation using Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Tests demonstrated that LightGBM and XGBoost consistently outperformed other algorithms—LightGBM achieved superior performance in the 70:30 train-test split (RMSE = 0.075, R2 = 0.895), while XGBoost excelled in both 80:20 (RMSE = 0.091, R2 = 0.847) and 50:50 splits. These models proved significantly better than traditional methods (p
