Biogas West
What is biogas?
Biogas can be produced by digestion of biomass Biomass feedstock
Sludge from sewage Organic waste fr households and industries Agriculture manure, restproducts energy crops

Biogas consists of methane. Up-graded biogas is a excellent renewable fuel for vehicles

Biogas West
Why biogas?
No contribution to the green house effect Less impact of the environment and the health

Wide range of biomass feedstocks

Sustainable system for waste treatment

Domestic fuel High security of energy supply

One step towards hydrogen technology

Natural gas compared to
Methane - fossil origin Exist in every part of the world

Biogas

Methane renewable energy Is produced all over the world Big biomass potential CO2 neutral

Bigger reserves than oil 20-25 % less CO2 compare to oil

Very low impacts environment and health Are used for industry, electricity/heat generation and for vehicles
