Exploring the Potential for Renewable Energy from Biogas Biogas is a type of fuel that is produced biologically through the breakdown of organic and naturally occurring matter in the absence of oxygen. The gas originates from biological matter. There (Zorg Biogas) are many types of biogas. In countries such as Sweden, biogas is One type is produced by fermentation of used to power trains. A biogas run train ecological materials like sewage, green operates between Vaestervik and waste, municipal waste, biomass, Linkoeping. The train is generated with manure, and energy crops. Such a type energy that is derived from sewage and of gas comprises of carbon monoxide, animal waste. The reason why Sweden hydrogen and nitrogen. These can be has adopted the gas as a form of energy oxidized or burnt with oxygen. for its large motor vehicle industry is that the gas has been shown to generate The energy that is released from the less carbon dioxide emissions compared combustion allows the gas to be to other forms of diesel such diesel.

Most industries also concentrate the Methane gas that is In the modern world, the gas can be found in biogas through biogas upgrader used in waste management and in to standards such as natural gas. The running heat engines in order to resulting product known as biomethane generate electrical power and is then used in the local energy mechanical power. More importantly, distribution centers and in the pipeline biogas can be condensed just like other industries. Further, biomethane is types of gases and used to run cars. In compressed and concentrated where it is countries such as the UK, biogas is used in the transport industries to power reportedly extensively used in the motor vehicles. industry to run motor vehicles.

You could open Pandora's Box when explaining how oil-dependent the farming, transport and processed food production industries are. Increased transportation costs to move food stuffs from field, to factory to your plate. Fertilizer and pesticide rely on natural gas and oil based chemicals for production, and farm machinery is run on liquid fossil fuels. The simplest equation is: Higher crude oil prices = Higher food costs. China began using biogas digesters in earnest in 1958 in a campaign to exploit the multiple functions of biogas production, which solved the problem of the disposal of manure and improved Biogas is a combustible mixture of gases hygiene.
