The classical Boltzmann equation describes well temporal behaviour of a rarefied perfect gas. Modified kinetic equations have been proposed for studying the dynamics of different type of gases.

These new equations are called kinetic models. The most popular and widely used kinetic model is the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model. In this work we propose and analyse a BGK model for charge transport in graphene.
