What is Anaerobic Digestion?

So, what is Anaerobic Digestion? Anaerobic Digestion involves using the natural process wherein organic matter is broken down by germs, in the absence of oxygen, inside a sealed tank. For both processes, a digester tank is made use of: a gas-tight, sealed vessel with draw-off points, in which plant and animal material (biomass) is naturally […]

What is Biogas?

Just what is biogas? Biogas is a renewable energy source generated through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal sewage sludge, plant material, and food waste. This natural process breaks down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, producing a gaseous mixture primarily composed of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide […]
