An OLD idea whose TIME has come.
Biogas is abundant & may be the most eco-friendly. The renewed interest for biogas is driven
not only by its excellent fuel & energy value but by its high Global Warming Potential.
Biogas is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) that must be prevented from escaping into the atmosphere. Making & collecting biogas in efficient digesters and using it as a fuel prevents the escape of biogas into the atmosphere.

Basic Principles Plant-eating animals release large amounts of biogas to the atmosphere. Biogas is actually a mixture of gases, usually carbon dioxide and methane. It is produced by a few kinds of microorganisms,
usually when air or oxygen is absent.
Animals that eat a lot of plant material, particularly grazing animals such as cattle, produce large amounts of biogas. The biogas is produced not by the cow or elephant, but by billions of micro organisms living in its digestive system. Biogas also develops in bogs and at the bottom of lakes, where decaying organic matter builds up under wet and anaerobic conditions. Besides being able to live without oxygen, methane producing microorganisms have another special feature:
They are among the very few creatures that can digest cellulose,
the main ingredient of plant fibers. Another special feature an!
of these organisms is that they are very sensitive to conditions in their environment,
such as temperature, acidity, the amount of water, etc. Flammable biogas can be collected using a simple tank,
Animal manure is stored in a closed tank where the gas accumulates. It makes an excellent fuel for cook stoves and furnaces, and can be used in place of regular natural gas, which is a fossil fuel.

Biogas is a form of renewable energy, because it is produced with the help of growing plants.
