The main constituent of biogas is
(A) methane
(B) carbon dioxide
(C) hydrogen
(D) hydrogen sulphide
Answer : (A)
Biogas is a renewable energy source composed of methane, carbon dioxide, and other trace compounds produced from anaerobic digestion of organic matter.
Bio gas composition:
Methane CH4 55%-75%
Carbon dioxide CO2 25% - 40%
Rest are trace gases like hydrogen etc.
Biogas is predominantly made from the excretion of cows and buffalos. This is the reason they produce a lot of methane gas.
Therefore option (A) is correct
