Biogas

- Organic substances (proteins, carbohydrates, fats, cellulose) are decomposed with the aid of enzymes on a substrate into lower-molecular compounds (monosaccharide, amino acids, fatty acids, water).
- Bacteria which form acids convert these substances into organic acids, carbon dioxide and ammonia.
Methane bacteria form methane, carbon dioxide and water.
- Around 60-65 % of the "finished" biogas is made up of the high-grade energy carrier methane, with around 30 % carbon dioxide and just a few percent of other gases.
- 1 m³ of biogas (with a methane content of 60 %) contains an energy yield of approx. 6 kWh, which corresponds to approx. 0.6 l of fuel oil).
