AD technology facilitates the organic material to decompose inside a man-made vessel called a reactor (biogas digester) under controlled conditions
The mixture of gases in biogas primarily consists of methane (50%-70% by volume) and carbon dioxide (30%-40%). Commonly used raw materials in biogas systems include livestock manure, municipal garbage, agricultural residues, plant material, sewage, industrial organic wastes, industrial waste water and food wastes etc. The biogas generation process consists of four biochemical reactions, and performance of different groups of microorganisms are responsible for the decomposition of organic matter into biogas and digestate.
Biogas systems protect our air, water, and soil by recycling organic waste into renewable energy and soil products, while reducing GHG emissions.
In the U.S., there is an urgent need to manage the millions of tons of food, water and animal waste. The main benefits of biogas systems come from the fact that they are recycling all this material while also producing renewable energy and soil products which displace fossil fuels.
When you put these and other benefits together, we can prevent tons of carbon emissions from entering our air, prevent nutrients from entering our waterways, create healthier soils with natural, non-fossil fuel-based fertilizers, and produce reliable, baseload renewable energy.
