roughly the content of a LPG cylinder: 3.1415 * (0.315 m / 2)² * 0.825 m = 0.064 m³ = 64 l
Matthias Ansorg
18:17
volume at 20 bars is 20 times that, so 1.29 m³
Matthias Ansorg
18:18
mass of 1.29 m³ biogas at 0.46 kg/m³: 1.29 m³ * 0.46 kg/m³ = ~600 g

List of energy densities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density
Energy density of Biogas (or natural gas, which is very similar): 14.9 kWh/kg

Energy density of LPG: 13.7 kWh/kg

kg of biogas used in one month in your household: 14 kg LPG / 75 day * 30 days * (13.7/14.9) energy density ratio =
5.15 kg

CNG = compressed natural gas, basically the same as compressed biogas
look up compressors, tanks etc. for CNG cars

so, calculating with 500 ml biogas per gram of food waste (dry matter) means 100 ml per gram of food waste (wet
base, roughly)
at 80% water in food waste
100 ml biogas means 0.046 g
Matthias Ansorg
18:57
for 1 ton of food waste, this means a yield of 0.046 g * 1 000 000 g/ton = 46 kg = 9 medium sized CNG cylinders, each
roughly for 1 month in a household
