- Option 1: Methane - It is the main constituent and is responsible for most of the energy content in biogas. Methane burns cleanly with a blue flame and without smoke.
- Option 2: Hydrogen - Though it can be present in trace amounts, it is not a main component of biogas.
- Option 3: Carbon Dioxide - This is the second most common component of biogas but does not contribute to its fuel value.
- Option 4: Hydrogen Sulphide - Typically present in small quantities and is considered an impurity in biogas.
