====== Biogas ====== Biogas is an energy source produced from the decomposition of organic matter. This decomposition process is called anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion only occurs above 37 C. ^ Component ^ Chemical Formula ^ Percentage Range (%) ^ | Methane | CH₄ | 50–80 | | Carbon dioxide | CO₂ | 15–50 | | Nitrogen | N₂ | 0–10 | | Hydrogen | H₂ | 0–1 | | Hydrogen sulfide | H₂S | 0–0.5 | | Oxygen | O₂ | 0–2.5 | ===== Biogas Upgrading ===== **Biogas compression requires caution. The hydrogen sulfide can corrode canisters and damage equipment.** Biogas upgrading is the removal of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from biogas. After biogas upgrading, biogas can be compressed and stored.
