Question

What is the approximate composition of biogas, generated after decomposition of bio-degradable agricultural waste?

• A. 55-65% of methane, 35-44% of carbon dioxide and traces of other gases
• B. 35-44% of methane, 55-65% of carbon dioxide and traces of other gases.
• C. 50% of methane and 50% of carbon dioxide and no other gases.
• D. 25-35% of methane, 65-75% of ammonia and traces of other gases.

Hint:

Biogas is a renewable energy source with methane as the primary component, used for heating, cooking, and electricity generation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Biogas, produced by the anaerobic decomposition of agricultural waste, generally consists of 55-65% methane, 35-44% carbon dioxide, and small quantities of other gases, including hy-drogen sulfide.
