Jacobi Helps Make Green Electricity
Biogas is produced by an anaerobic digestion or fermentation of biodegradable organic matter. This process can be done under controlled conditions in digesters or can happen spontaneously in landfill sites. Different types and mixtures of organic feedstock are used in digesters such as manure, energy crops, household waste, sewage sludge, industry waste. The produced biogas contains mainly methane, carbon dioxide and other trace components. This composition depends on the mixture of the organic feedstock used to produce the biogas or the composition of the stored organic waste in dumpsites. The table below shows the percentage composition of biogas:
