Bioenergy is renewable energy stored in organic materials such as plant matter and animal
waste, known as biomass. The wide variety of biomass fuel sources includes agricultural residue,
pulp/paper mill residue, urban wood waste, forest residue, energy crops, landfills and
animal waste. Anaerobic digestion is the process that occurs when bacteria decompose organic
materials in the absence of oxygen to generate biogas.
Biogas is primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide with smaller amounts of hydrogen
sulparkeride and ammonia. Trace amounts of other gases like hydrogen, nitrogen or carbon
monoxide are also present in the biogas. Usually the mixed gas is saturated with water vapour
and may contain dust particles. |
