Explanation:

? Bio CNG is the purified form of biogas where all the unwanted gases are removed to produce >95% pure methane gas. Hence, statement 1 is not correct.

? Bio CNG is similar to the commercially available natural gas in its composition (97%methane) and energy potential. It is generated by treating agricultural waste with a special bacterial solution, after which the gas so generated is cleaned and compressed for use in vehicles.
