Your ecological gadgets blogBiogas is a renewable fuel produced by the decomposition of organic matter, such as food scraps and animal waste.We will talk about how biogas is produced and how it can be used to fuel vehicles, to heat our homes and to generate electricity.Biogas is a renewable and environmentally friendly source of energy.It occurs when organic matter, such as food or animal waste, is broken down by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen, in a process called anaerobic digestion.In order for it to occur, the waste material must be enclosed in an environment where there is no oxygen.Biogas can be produced naturally or as part of an industrial process to intentionally create it for fuel.There is a wide variety of waste that breaks down into biogas, such as animal manure, garbage or municipal waste, plant matter, food waste or sewage.Biogas is mainly made up of methane and carbon dioxide.It may also include small amounts of hydrogen sulfide, siloxanes, and some moisture.The relative amounts of these vary depending on the type of waste involved in the production of the resulting biogas.As vehicle fuel: If biogas is compressed, it can be used as vehicle fuel.As a substitute for natural gas: If biogas is cleaned and upgraded to natural gas standards, it is called biomethane and can be used in a similar way to methane;for example, for cooking and heating.Your email address will not be published.Required fields are marked with *I have read and accept the privacy policy *Copyright EcoInventos © 2022
