    BIO GAS
    Introduction to Bio Gas
    Biogas is a mixture of methane, CO2 and small quantities of other gases produced by anaerobic digestion of organic
    matter in an oxygen-free environment. The precise composition of biogas depends on the type of feedstock and the
    production pathway; these include the following main technologies:
    • Biodigesters: These are airtight systems (e.g. containers or tanks) in which organic material, diluted in water, is
    broken down by naturally occurring micro‑organisms. Contaminants and moisture are usually removed prior to use
    of the biogas.
    • Landfill gas recovery systems: The decomposition of municipal solid waste (MSW) under anaerobic conditions at
    landfill sites produces biogas. This can be captured using pipes and extraction wells along with compressors to
    induce flow to a central collection point.
    • Wastewater treatment plants: These plants can be equipped to recover organic matter, solids, and nutrients such as
    nitrogen and phosphorus from sewage sludge. With further treatment, the sewage sludge can be used as an input to
    produce biogas in an anaerobic digester.
    ADVANTAGES OF BIO GAS
    1. Renewable Energy: Biogas is produced from organic waste, making it a sustainable and renewable energy
    source.
    2. Greenhouse Gas Reduction: It helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by capturing methane from organic
    materials.
    3. Waste Management: Biogas systems provide an eco-friendly solution for managing organic waste.
    4. Energy Independence: It contributes to energy self-sufficiency by generating power from local resources.
    5. Fertilizer Production: Biogas byproducts can be used as organic fertilizers, reducing the need for chemical
    alternatives.
    6. Economic Benefits: Biogas production can create jobs and stimulate economic growth in rural areas.
    DISADVANTAGES OF BIO
    GAS
    1.Not efficient enough on a large scale:
    Since it is difficult to enhance the efficiency of biogas, it is not economically viable to use biogas on a
    large scale.
    2. Contains impurities:
    It contains many impurities that are difficult to control even after purification rounds. Biogas when
    compressed, to be used as fuel, proves to be highly corrosive to the container
    3. Unstable and hazardous:
    When methane comes in contact with oxygen, it reacts violently to produce carbon dioxide. The
    highly inflammable nature of methane makes it prone to explosions.
