Biogas definition

Biogas means gaseous fuels produced from biomass;
Biogas means gas that is produced from the breakdown of organic material in the absence of oxygen. Biogas is produced in processes including anaerobic digestion, anaerobic decomposition, and thermochemical decomposition. These processes are applied to biodegradable biomass materials, such as manure, sewage, municipal solid waste, green waste, and waste from energy crops, to produce landfill gas, digester gas, and other forms of biogas.
Biogas means a gas created when organic matter like crop residues, sewage and manure breaks down in an oxygen-free environment (ferments);

Examples of Biogas in a sentence

  • Biogas has several potential beneficial uses, including electrical energy production, heat for process or other uses, and upgrading to pipeline quality natural gas, specifically for use as transportation fuel.

  • This project involves four European SMEs (Powercell, Ingenostrum, Helbio and Marches Biogas), three qualified RTD performers (KTH, LEITAT, and IDENER) and one end-user (FAECA).

  • BioWorks Energy has direct experience with incentives due to its long-term contract with the City of Flint to bring in additional feedstocks to the Flint Biogas Plant.


More Definitions of Biogas

Biogas means a mixture of gases composed primarily of methane and carbon dioxide.
Biogas means biogas as defined in Article 2, point (28), of Directive (EU) 2018/2001;
Biogas means gas that is produced from the anaerobic decomposition of organic material. The gas is a mixture of methane, carbon dioxide, and other constituents, and must be conditioned into Biomethane prior to receipt into the Dominion Energy Utah system.
Biogas means a biofuel that is a gas.
Biogas means gas, consisting primarily of methane and carbon dioxide, produced by the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. Biogas cannot be directly injected into natural gas pipelines or combusted in most natural gas-fueled vehicles unless first upgraded to biomethane.
Biogas means a gas resulting from the decomposition of organic matter under anaerobic conditions. The principle constituents are methane and carbon dioxide.
Biogas includes digester gas, landfill gas, and any gas derived from a feedstock eligible under the CEC’s Renewables Portfolio Standard.
