Biogas typically refers to a gas produced by the biological breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Comprised primarily of methane and carbon dioxide, biogas originates from biogenic material and is a type of biofuel. It’s a product of the anaerobic digestion or fermentation of biodegradable materials such as manure or sewage, and [...]
