Biogas
Biogas usually refers to a mixture of different gases produced by the decomposition of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas can be produced from raw materials such as farm waste, manure, urban waste, plant matter, sewage, green waste or food waste. It is a renewable energy source and in many cases uses a very small carbon footprint.
Biogas can be produced by anaerobic digestion with anaerobic bacteria, digesting materials in a closed system, or fermenting biodegradable materials.
Biogas is mainly methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and can have small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), humidity and siloxanes. Gases of methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide (CO) can be burned or oxidized with oxygen. This energy release allows biogas to be used as a fuel; it can be used for any purpose of heating, such as cooking. It can also be used in a gas engine to convert energy into gas into electricity and heat.
Biogas can be compressed in the same way that natural gas is compressed into compressed natural gas and used to provide energy to vehicle engines. In the United Kingdom, for example, biogas is estimated to be able to replace about 17% of vehicle fuel. It is certified as a renewable energy substitute in some parts of the world. Biogas can be cleaned and upgraded to natural gas standards when biomethane is made.
1 cow can produce manure equal with 3kWh electrical power
1 lamp of 100watt for 1 day is equal with 2,4kWh
