There are many benefits of biogas
  • Biogas is a renewable energy source just like solar and wind energy. It is a mixture of gas produced by the dissolution of organic material in the absence of oxygen.

  • Its main component is hydrocarbons, which are flammable and get heat and energy upon burning.

  • Biogas is produced by a biochemical process, under which certain types of bacteria turn biological wastes into useful biogas.

  • This useful gas is produced by biological processes, hence it is called biogas. Methane gas is the main component of biogas.

  • Biogas is a source of energy that can be used again and again.

  • You know that it can also be used for domestic and agricultural purposes.

  • The gas obtained from the biogas plant is used for cooking and lighting.

  • 100 percent petrol and up to 80 percent diesel can also be saved by running bi-fuel engine with biogas.

  • Such engines are used to produce electricity and pump water from wells.
