Enhancing the Environment with the production of Green Electricity

Biogas is primarily methane that is generated from an anaerobic digestion of organic (food) wastes by microorganisms. Biogas is an excellent fuel for heating purposes as well as for generating electricity.

The advantages of biogas-based energy generation are as follows:

• It is based on renewable sources. The production of Biogas is one of the most important resources for reaching our renewable energy targets. It already contributes more than half of renewable energy consumption in the European Union, providing a clean, secure and competitive energy resource, “said EU Energy Commissioner Gunther Oettinger.
• It can provide distributed energy generation, thereby providing much-needed energy for a growing demand.
• It provides a beneficial way of disposing organic waste diverting a waste from landfill into a resource for green power.
• It reduces the need to burn fossil fuels thus reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Estimates put greenhouse gas emission reductions at between 50% and 150% compared to fossil fuels.
• It reduces the community’s need for additional landfill sites thus reducing potential land degradation.
• It reduces the likelihood of methane emissions and leachate from landfills.
