This would entirely depend on how efficient your biogas consuming electrical generator is and what the constituent gases in the biogas are.
Biogas can contain between about 50-70% methane.
The available energy in the biogas is derived from the calorific value (CV) of methane factored by the concentration of methane in the biogas.
If you know the efficiency of the gas engine then you can derive the energy output from the known CV of the biogas input.
It is important to select a suitable generator that can run on biogas and will provide suitable warranties when operating on biogas. It may be necessary to consider the impact of contaminant gases such as siloxanes, hydrogen sulphide and moisture in the biogas. It may be appropriate to protect the engine by installing scrubbing systems to clean the gas and remove the contaminants upstream of the engine in order to improve the lifetime of the equipment.

What is the main component of biogas?
The main component of biogas is methane.
How is biogas produced?
Biogas is produced through animal waste.
What is a chemical formula for biogas?
A biogas is a complex mixture, not a single compound.
In what way are composting and biogas production similar?
in what way are composting and biogas production similar
Does biogas smell?
Biogas is another name for methane which is the gas released out of your lower bowels. Yes, it smells.
How do you make biogas?
I think that if persons who use biogas decrease on the amount of electricity and cooking gas then there will be a conservation in biogas
How biogas can be used to generate electricity?
cleverly :)
What are the economic benefits of biogas?
Utilization of biogas (in North America) would generate enough electricity to meet up to three per cent of the continent's electricity expenditure. In addition, biogas could help to reduce global climate change. Fill in the obvious economic consequences yourself.
How is biogas used to produce electricity?
Biogas is used to produce electricity as it can fill up certain tubes or containers and then be filled with a luminescence that extends throughout the length of the glass, thusly filling the entire container with light.
How do electric companies calculate electricity used?
Electric companies calculate the amount of electric energy by using special consumption meters.
How much cost to build a biogas power plant?
it approximately costs 2500 USD/KW of electricity
How do you produce electricity from biogas?
You can use the bio gas to fuel either a steam cycle generator or a gas turbine.
Is it possible to obtain electricity from biogas without a steam engine or turbine?
You could use a Sterling Cycle heat engine.
What are the disadvantages of biogas electricity?
The efficiency of the gas engine is key to assessing cost benefit of biogas for electricity. The most common primary use of biogas is to provide heat to the Anaerobic Digesters that are processing the material to generate biogas. There is commonly more gas produced than required to achieve this. In that case there are a few options namely: use the biogas in a combined heat and power engine, upgrade the gas to inject into the gas network or provide vehicle fuel. The main disadvantages of using biogas to produce electricity are the efficiency of gas engines. They may operate at a combined efficiency of 80% (i.e. for 1kWh of gas in it will produce 0.3kWh of electricity and 0.5kWh of heat). This relies on sufficient heat demand. Gas upgrade requires energy for the processing of gas but will lose very little of the stored energy in the gas which can be transported to an energy demand. In summary: 1) Capital outlays for biogas production and use in CHP are high. 2) The efficiency of the system is only maximised when there is a local heat demand, i.e. a large majority of the inhabitants participate, or it can be attached to the local heating supply network.
Electricity can be made by animal manure?
The method of turning manure into electricity is called "biogas" and is a procedure where cattle manure is processed to release methane gas that will be burned as fuel to power a generator.
