Biogas – The source of future energy
By the end of this report I want to come to a conclusion whether biogas is
the best source of future energy or are there any other sources that are better.
What is biogas?
Typically it refers to the gas produced by the anaerobic digestion or fermentation of
organic matter including manure, sewage sludge, municipal solid waste,

of clean energy. India and China have both invested extensively in

interesting applications for this gas which appeal to people who are interested in
sustainable energy and the health of the environment.
The basis for biogas is organic material such as food scraps and feces which are
