 Introduction
• Biogas typically refers to a mixture of different
gases produced by the breakdown of organic
matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas can be
produced from raw materials such as agricultural
waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material,
sewage, green waste or food waste.
• In short, biogas is a gaseous fuel, especially
methane, produced by the fermentation of
organic matter.
 Advantages of Biogas Energy
• It is focused around renewable sources
• Reduced odour and flies nuisances.
• Biogas technologies contribute to reduce the
volume of wastes and the costs for wastes
disposal.

Compared to other biofuels needs the lowest amount of process

water. This aspect is very important since many regions of the
world face huge water problems.
 Disadvantage of Biogas Energy
• Few Technological Advancements
An unfortunate disadvantage of biogas today is that the systems used in the
production of biogas are not efficient.

• Contains Impurities
After refinement and compression, biogas still contains impurities.

• Effect of temperature
The optimal temperature bacteria need to digest waste is around 37°C. In
cold climates, digesters require heat energy to maintain a constant biogas
supply.

• Dirty smell is produced in the surrounding areas of biogas plant.
