Biogas for Commercial Use
Biogas can be used as a fuel in stationary and mobile engines, to supply motive power, pump water, drive machinery (e.g., threshers, grinders) or generate electricity. It can be used in both spark and compression (diesel) engines. The spark ignition engine is easily modified to run on biogas by using a gas carburettor. Ignition systems need not be altered,
other than minor timing adjustments. At the standard compression ratios, a decrease in power results. Supplementary fuels can be used with biogas... Domestic Biogas Applications
Small scale farmers that keep domestic animals are good candidates for installing household biogas units. However, a biogas unit will only yield good results if it is properly operated and maintained.
Biogas refers to a gas made from anaerobic digestion of agricultural and animal waste. The gas, a mixture of methane and CO2, is used
for direct combustion in cooking or lighting applications;
to power combustion engines for motive power or electricity generation.
