What is the main component of biogas and natural gas?
Methane
What is the main component of biogas?
The main component of biogas is methane.
What mixes with gas to extend supplies?
Biogas
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 calculate the amount of electricity from biogas?
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.

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

Difference between biogas and natural gas?
Biogas and natural gas differ in availability, production and use. Biogas is the product of decomposition of shrubs and solid waste, available in limited qualities, and not generally used as a raw material. Natural gas is abundant, and used as an energy source.
Is there an alternative resource to natural gas?
Yes there is- Biogas
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.
How biogas can supply farmers with energy?
Biogas can supply the farmers with the energy they need because biogas is a flammable gas that help the farmers,biogas supply farmers by the HEAT ENERGY that help the farmers to get the energy they need in planting,like sun biogas give a HEAT ENERGY that what plants needed in heat energy from the SUN.

Need science project title for '' biogas generator''?
From trash to gas
What is the main content of biogas and natural gas?
Natural gas main contents are Methane (CH4) and other hydrocarbons (composed of carbon and hydrogen) plus traces of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and water.Biogas is primarily a mixture of methane (CH4) and inert carbonic gas (CO2). However the name "biogas" gathers a large variety of gases resulting from specific treatment processes, starting from various organic waste - industries, animal or domestic origin waste etc.
