About BioGas
To understand biogas, it is important to understand the process by which it is derived.
Anaerobic digestion is the microbiological breakdown of organic material in an oxygen-free environment. As bacteria consume the organic material contained in the digester, they excrete methane, which is the primary component of biogas.
Biogas is a combustible, natural gas by-product of anaerobic digestion. It is primarily composed of methane (60%) and carbon dioxide (40%). Once produced, biogas can be burned in a combustion engine to produce electricity and heat
Applications
Anaerobic digestion has been used on farms in Europe for over a century, in many different applications, click for more.
Biogas technology can be effectively integrated with other green technology, such as biodiesel and ethanol.
Whether using residential or commercial organic waste, the biogas technology can produce clean energy to be used locally by everyday consumers.
