 What is Biogas.?
Biogas is the mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic
matter in the absence of oxygen.

Composition:
• Methane (45%–75%)
• carbon dioxide (25%–50%)
• water vapor (1%–5%)
• nitrogen (0%–5%)
• Lower amounts of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, as well as trace
amounts of hydrogen and carbon monoxide
 Formation Biogas
Biogas is produced using well-established technology in a process
involving several stages:

1. Biowaste is crushed into smaller pieces and slurrified to prepare it

for the anaerobic digestion process. Slurrifying means adding
liquid to the biowaste to make it easier to process.
2. Microbes need warm conditions, so the biowaste is heated to
around 37 °C.
3. The actual biogas production takes place through anaerobic
digestion in large tanks for about three weeks.
4. In the final stage, the gas is purified (upgraded) by removing
impurities and carbon dioxide.
