What is bio-gas?

Biogas is usually methane which is collected from animal manure and other organic material which gives off methane as it decomposes anaerobically (that is, without air).

If this gas is collected in a centralized plant it can be used to create energy by generating electricity.

Any residue is available as an organic fertilizer which is less harmful than chemical fertilizers. Biogas consists of methane and is thus the same kind of gas to natural gas. The difference is how it is formed. Natural gas is stored in the earth's crust as oil, while biogas is renewable and is made of organic material. The material (eg sewage sludge, manure, meat and catering waste) rots in an oxygen-free environment and in the process forms a gas composed of methane and carbon dioxide. The gas is purified from carbon dioxide and the remaining is a gas consisting of 97 percent methane that can be used as a vehicle fuel or to generate electricity. Biogas is a renewable biofuel, and is classified as one of our cleanest fuels. If biogas is used as vehicle fuel instead of gasoline it reduces emissions and the use of fossil oil. Biogas is formed in a natural degradation process of biological material, and, unlike petrol and diesel, is a renewable energy source that is part of nature's cycle.

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.

Who invented biogas?

Biogas is a type of renewable energy that occurs naturally from the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. The invention of biogas is not attributed to a single individual, as it has been used for centuries in various forms. However, the modern development of biogas technology is often credited to Sir John Royds in England in the late 19th century.


Where is biogas derived from?

Biogas is none other than methane which is obtained on anaerobic decomposition of organic waste.
