Answer:
What is Biogas?
Biogas refers to a mixture of gases produced by the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter such as agricultural waste, municipal waste, plant residue, food waste etc. Biogas consists of methane, carbon dioxide along with the small amount of hydrogen sulphide, and moisture.
Explanation:
Advantages of Biogas
Non-polluting:
Biogas burns without smoke; hence no harmful gas such as CO2, CO, NO2, and SO2 are evolved.
Reduces Landfills:
The slurry produced after the production of biogas is used as manure in fields. The method of disposal is safe and efficient and hence no space is wasted in the form of landfills.
Renewable source of energy:
It is considered as a renewable source of energy because the production is dependent on the generation of waste which is an endless process.
Disadvantages of Biogas
Not efficient enough on a large scale:
Since it is difficult to enhance the efficiency of biogas, it is not economically viable to use biogas on a large scale.
