Solution

Gas made from the anaerobic digestion of agricultural and animal waste is called biogas. When this biomass (agriculture and animal waste) is decomposed in the absence of oxygen, it releases biogas. Till the life exists on this planet we would not be short of such wastes and hence bio gas is considered as a renewable source of energy.
