BioGas
- Green Energy Resource
One type of biogas is produced by
anaerobic digestion or
fermentation of biodegradable
materials such as biomass, manure
or sewage, municipal waste, green
waste and energy crops. This type
of biogas comprises primarily
methane and carbon dioxide.
Anaerobic Digestion is basically a
simple process that occurs in
digestive systems, marshes,
rubbish dumps, septic tanks and
the Arctic Tundra.

Biogas can
be used as a low-cost fuel in any country
for any heating purpose, such as cooking.
It can also be used in modern waste
management facilities where it can be used
to run any type of heat engine, to
generate either mechanical or electrical
power.
Biogas can be compressed, much like
natural gas, and used to power motor
vehicles. Biogas is a renewable fuel, so
it qualifies for renewable energy
subsidies in some parts of the world.

The Methane to
Markets Partnership
Methane (CH4) is a hydrocarbon and the
primary component of natural gas. Methane
is also a greenhouse gas (GHG), meaning
that its presence in the atmosphere may
contribute to climate change.
Facilitating the development of methane
projects will decrease greenhouse gas
methane emissions, increase energy
security, enhance economic growth, improve
local air quality and improve industrial
safety.
