Biogas Overview

Biogas is produced by the fermentation of biomass. Biogas contains methane; as a renewable and versatile supplier of electricity, heat and fuel, it is a major contributor to a safe and sustainable energy supply. Biogas can be stored or fed into the natural gas network, which adds to its flexibility of use. As an all-rounder, biogas will be able to supply around ten per cent of the natural gas requirements by 2020, without affecting food production.

Like natural gas, biogas is a mixture of gases with methane as its principal component. Microorganisms convert plants, liquid or solid manure into biogas via a metabolic process.
Biogas is also produced in sewage treatment plants and landfills.
Today, biogas is converted into electricity and heat in cogeneration systems. The heat created heats buildings or can be used for other purposes. This makes double – and therefore especially efficient – use of the energy. Electricity and heat from biogas production systems are environmentally highly compatible because the quantity of carbon dioxide released through the production of biogas is the same as that consumed by the plants during growth, or as would be released by waste anyway.
