Biogas consists of

🔑 Key Points
→ Biogas consists of Carbon dioxide, Methane, and Hydrogen.
→ Biogas is a mixture of gases produced by anaerobic decomposition of organic matter like biomass waste, municipal waste, plant residue, etc.
→ It mainly consists of Methane, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen, and a small amount of Hydrogen Sulphide and moisture.
→ The government of India is implementing the Galvanising Organic Bio Agro Resources Dhan (GOBAR-Dhan) scheme for Biogas production.
→ Compressed Bio-Gas is exactly similar to commercially available natural gas in its composition and energy potential.
→ Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) is an effort of GOI aimed to enhance Compressed Biogas in the country.

📌 Important Points
→ Difference between Biogas and Natural Gas are as follows:

Biogas: Obtained from biomass like farm and animal waste, limited in quantity, mostly used in rural areas.
Natural Gas: Obtained in natural form, not limited, used as a raw material in petrochemical industries.
📝 Additional Information
→ Also, the difference between Natural Gas and LPG are:

LPG is propane and butane while Natural Gas is mainly methane.
LPG is heavier than air and NG is lighter than air.
LPG has energy content 93.2 MJ/m³ while natural gas is 38.9 MJ/m³.
LPG is liquefied through pressurization vs natural gas which is cryogenically turned to liquefied natural gas (LNG).
