Question

(i) What is biogas ? (ii) Which is the major component present in the biogas which serves as a fuel ?

Answer 1

The gases methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide (CO) can be combusted or oxidized with oxygen. This energy release allows biogas to be used as a fuel; it can be used for any heating purpose, such as cooking. It can also be used in a gas engine to convert the energy in the gas into electricity and heat.
