2. The fermentation of organic substances can produce biogas.
3. This so-called anaerobic digestion occurs naturally in landfills or in biogas systems that re-use biowastes like feces, plant material, and sewage in a more controlled and effective manner.
4. Furthermore, biogas can be produced by gasifying forest-based biomass, such as forestry sector leftovers.
5. It allows accumulated animal waste from food production and municipal solid waste from urbanization to be used effectively.

Four gases commonly present in biogas are:

2. Carbon Dioxide- The amount of Carbon Dioxide can range from 30 to 40 percent.
