WHAT IS THE BIOGAS?

what is the biogas?

 

A product of decomposing organic matter such as manure or food processing wastes using anaerobic bacteria. Biogas is primarily composed of methane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. Optimum Utility Systems can design useful applications for biogas such as heating, absorption cooling, and generating electricity using an engine or microturbine.

Gas, rich in methane, which is produced by the fermentation of animal dung, human sewage or crop residues in an air-tight container. It is used as a fuel to heat stoves, lamps, run small machines and to generate electricity. The residues of biogas production are used as a low-grade organic fertiliser. Biogas fuels do not usually cause any pollution to the atmosphere, and because they come from renewable energy resources they have great potential for future use.
