Biogas consists mainly of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Methane is a valuable form of gas, as it is an efficient energy carrier with a wide range of uses. The amount of CO2 that is produced corresponds to the amount of CO2 captured when the biomass was created. This means that biogas is a CO2 neutral and renewable source of energy.Biogas is somewhat lighter than air and has an ignition temperature of approximately 700 °C (diesel oil 350 °C; petrol and propane about 500 °C). The temperature of the flame is 870 °C. Biogas can be produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food waste. Biogas is a renewable energy source. It can also be used in a gas engine to convert the energy in the gas into electricity and heat.
