Biogas is the gaseous product of the anaerobic digestion (decomposition without oxygen) of organic matter. It is typically made up of 50-80% methane, 20-50% carbon dioxide, and traces of gases such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen. In contrast, natural gas is typically made up of more than 70% methane, with most of the rest being other hydrocarbons (such as propane and butane) and only small amounts of carbon dioxide and other contaminants. Biogas is sometimes called swamp gas, landfill gas, or digester gas. When its composition is upgraded to a higher standard of purity, it can be called renewable natural gas.

Biogas is produced by the anaerobic digestion or fermentation of biodegradable materials such as biomass, manure, sewage, municipal waste, green waste, plant material, and crops

Where is biogas derived from?

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


How is biogas obtained from bio mass?

Biogas is obtained from biomass through a process called anaerobic digestion, where microorganisms break down organic matter in the absence of oxygen. This process produces biogas, mainly composed of methane and carbon dioxide, which can be captured and used as a renewable energy source.

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 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.
