Benefits of Biogas
Biogas contains approximately 70% methane (CH4) and roughly 30% carbon dioxide. As one kind of green energy (renewable energy), what are the benefits of biogas?
Methane yields from agriculture feedstocks are in the 50% to 70% range. Manure has the lowest yield with energy crops and food processing having the highest yields. Much potential exists to blend feedstocks to achieve desirable methane yields and solve environmental issues at the same time.
And commercial products from biogas production include methane, electricity, heat, steam, fertilizer, chemical recovery, odor reduction, water recycling, CO2 and potentially carbon credits and greenhouse gas credits.
