Explanation
Bio-gas is a renewable fuel produced through the anaerobic digestion (breakdown in the absence of oxygen) of organic matter such as agricultural waste, animal manure, and food scraps. The composition of bio-gas typically includes:
- Methane (CH4): The primary combustible component, making up about 50% to 75% of the volume.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2): The second major component, making up about 25% to 50% of the volume.
Small amounts of other gases like Nitrogen (N2), Hydrogen (H2), and Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) may also be present. Butane is a major constituent of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), while Carbon monoxide is typically a byproduct of incomplete combustion and is not a major constituent of bio-gas produced during anaerobic digestion.
