Sources of Biogas Energy

Biogas production starts with an energy source. Below are several of the main types of energy sources available to biogas production engineers today:

 

biogasmanure
Animal Manure
Animal manure is the primary energy source for biogas production. Million of pounds of animal waste is produced per year at large farms. This was unused until biogas engineers discovered that they could use this as a source of renewable energy.
biogaswastewater
Wastewater
Municipal sewage wastewater contains biomass organic solids. Many wastewater treatment plans utilize anaerobic digestion to reduce the volume and density of these organic solids. Anaerobic digestion eliminates pathogens, and stabilizes sludge.
biogaslandfillgas
Landfill Gas
Underground at landfills lies a natural anaerobic digestion process exactly the same as the digestion process that occurs in a manure, wastewater, or slaughter house carcass application. Most of the landfill gas is a product of the decomposition of cellulose contained in municipal and industrial solid waste matter.
biogasslaughterhouse
Slaughter House Carcasses
For years, slaughter houses disposed of thousands upon millions of pounds of unusable leftover animal carcass remains. Somewhere in the the late 20th to early 21st century, biogas production engineers connected the dots to discover this untapped source of energy
