HOW BIO-GAS IS PRODUCED

Day by day the natural sources of energy are decreasing due to the excessive use of coal and petroleum products. On the other hand due to the growth of population the need for renewable energy is increasing. Biogas is a renewable energy source, like solar and wind energy. Biogas mainly refers to a gas that is produced by the breakdown of organic substance in the absence of oxygen. Different types of organic materials like fruit and vegetable wastes, eggshells, coffee and tee filters, corn straw, Sudan grass, Liquid or solid manure from animal farming, animal waster etc. are used to produce biogas. Those materials are put in an air-tight tank. Water is added to increase the process of Fermentation which helps to convert the organic materials into methane gas (CH4). Then the emitted gas is stored in a cylinder. This gas can be used in cocking, electricity. Thus environment becomes garbage free which prevents the pollution.
