What is Biogas? mention the main constituent of biogas.how is it considered as an ideal fuel…
Biogas is a gas produced by the biological breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen.
It is a mixture of methane(65%), Carbon dioxide, hydrogen, hydrogen sulphide, etc.
Its considered an ideal fuel because:
- It burns without smoke and leaves no residue.
- Its heat capacity is high.
- Animal and food waste and sewage undergo natural anaerobic digestion in an oxygen-free environment.Therefore, biogas is included in the category of renewable energy sources because till humans and animals exist on the planet, biogas will go on being produced.
