​
Can I use biogas at home?
Yes, biogas can be used for residential cooking, heating, and electricity generation if you have a small-scale biogas digester and access to organic feedstock, like food scraps and animal manure.
What are the environmental benefits of biogas?
Biogas production helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by capturing and utilizing methane, a potent greenhouse gas, that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. It also helps to reduce organic waste in landfills and can improve soil quality when digestate (the residue from biogas production) is used as fertilizer.
​What are the applications of biogas?
Biogas can be used as a source of renewable energy for various applications, including electricity generation, heating, and as a vehicle fuel (compressed natural gas or CNG). It can also be upgraded to biomethane and injected into the natural gas grid.
How does biogas differ from natural gas?
Biogas and natural gas are similar in composition (both primarily consist of methane), but biogas is produced from organic waste and is considered a renewable energy source. Natural gas, on the other hand, is typically extracted from fossil fuel reserves.
