How does biogas plant help to reduce the problem of pollution?

Biogas production by anaerobic digestion provides an effective way to destroy disease-causing pathogens and reducing the volume of disposed waste products. Biogas - primarily composed of methane and CO2 is the byproduct of anaerobic digestion. Biogas can be used effectively for generating electricity and even used as a vehicle fuel. It can also be burned directly for lighting, cooking and heating purposes.

  • a biogas power plant is an anaerobic digestion system which is designed specially for the purpose of generating energy.
  • This biogas can be used very effectively for generating electricity and even used as a vehicle fuel. It can also be burned directly for lighting, cooking and heating

  • One of the major reasons for the popularity of biogas production by anaerobic digestion is because it is a great way to destroy disease-causing pathogens and reducing the volume of disposed waste products.

  • Biogas production can reduce the pollution potential in wastewater by converting oxygen demanding organic matter that could cause low oxygen levels in surface waters. Nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorous are conserved in biogas effluents and can be used to displace fertilizers in crop production.
