What Is Biogas Fuel?
Biogas fuel, typically called biogas, is a form of biofuel created by the anaerobic decomposition of organic materials. Anaerobic decomposition refers to decay that occurs with the help of microorganisms in an oxygen-free environment. Organic material is biodegradable matter from a living or once-living organism, like plants, animals, or their wastes. As the decomposition of these materials takes place, a system harnesses the resulting hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide and methane, gases which can be reacted with oxygen to create energy. Biogas fuel may be used for heating processes and, if concentrated, for vehicle transportation.
