Concerning the "Bio gass" is the mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Considering the following statements:

1. Biogas is primarily hydrogen sulfide, moisture and siloxanes and may have small amounts of methane and carbon dioxide.

2. Biogas can be compressed, the same way as natural gas is compressed to CNG, and used to power motor vehicles.

Explanation:

Biogas can be produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food waste. Biogas is a renewable energy source. Biogas is primarily methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and may have small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), moisture and siloxanes. The gases methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide (CO) can be combusted or oxidized with oxygen. This energy release allows biogas to be used as a fuel; it can be used for any heating purpose, such as cooking. It can also be used in a gas engine to convert the energy in the gas into electricity and heat. Projects such as NANOCLEAN are nowadays developing new ways to produce biogas more efficiently, using iron oxide nanoparticles in the processes of organic waste treatment. This process can triple the production of biogas.
