WhAt IS <strong>BIOGAS</strong>?<br />
THE GENESIS OF <strong>BIOGAS</strong>:<br />
<strong>Biogas</strong> is produced in biogas plants by the<br />
biological degradation of biomass – primarily<br />
agricultural substrate such as liquid or stable<br />
manure or energy crops (maize, rye, sugar<br />
beet, etc.). In addition to these inputs, biogas<br />
can also be produced from organic waste from<br />
rural districts, towns and villages, such as cut<br />
grass, waste food and by-products of the food<br />
industry.<br />
Fermentation by bacteria in air-tight tanks, so-<br />
called digesters, produces biogas in a process<br />
comprising several stages. The bacteria are similar<br />
to those in the digestive tract of the cow.<br />
Digested product<br />
as fertilizer<br />
Liquid and stable manure from livestock<br />
farming as well as feed remains, energy<br />
plants and other organic substrates
