Biogas

Biogas is a naturally occurring biofuel that is formed when organic matter decomposes in the absence of oxygen. It is produced by the anaerobic digestion of organic waste in an oxygen-free environment, such as a biomass plant. This option promotes the decomposition of organic materials, resulting in the production of biogas. Biogas is the naturally occurring combination of gases that includes methane (50-75 percent), carbon dioxide (25-45 percent), water (2-8 percent), and hydrogen sulphide. It is utilised in the same manner as natural gas, and until recently, it was mostly used for lighting and cooking rather than generating power.

One of the most appealing aspects of biogas is that it may be made from a variety of waste sources, including: Agricultural byproducts, Plant waste from fruits and vegetables Food waste, Sewage, Manure from animals (pig, hen, cow), Waste from distilleries and breweries, Garbage from landfills Waste from the forestry industry.
