The main component of biogas and natural gas is methane. Methane is a colorless and odorless gas that is the primary component responsible for their flammability.


What is the main component of biogas?

The main component of biogas is methane gas, typically ranging from 50-70%. Other components include carbon dioxide, water vapor, and small amounts of hydrogen sulfide and other trace gases.


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

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.

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.


How carbon dioxide gas as main component of biogas though it is fire extingushing gas?

Equation of Combustion CH4 + O2 = CO2 + H2O As you saw...Carbon di oxide is the product formed in combustion.It is Not the main component of bio-gas as it is the product itself.Methane is main component of bio-gas. Another way to understand is that the carbon dioxide is on product side..to burn something you need oxygen..but if we reverse the situation by providing carbon dioxide..fire extinguishes.. I hope it helps.. Reference: A level chemistry


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.

What is the difference between biogas and natural gas?

Natural gas:-is a gas consisting primarily of methane, typically with 0-20% higher hydrocarbons(primarily ethane). It is found associated with other fossil fuel ,in coal bedBiogas:-typically refers to a gas produced by the biological breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen Biogas originates from biogenic material and is a type of biofuel. Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion or fermentation
