Biogas: - It is the mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen (anaerobically).
- It primarily consists of Methane and Carbon dioxide.
- It can be produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, animal manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste, or food waste.
- It is a renewable energy source.
- In India, it is also known as "Gobar Gas".
- 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 purposes, such as cooking.
- It can also be used in a gas engine to convert the energy in the gas into electricity and heat.
About coal: - Coal is a sedimentary black or dark brown rock that varies in carbon composition.
- As coal contains mainly carbon, the slow process of conversion of dead vegetation into coal is called carbonisation.
- Since it was formed from the remains of vegetation, coal is also called a fossil fuel.
- Coal is one of the fuels used to cook food.
- Earlier, it was used in railway engines to produce steam to run the engine.
- It is also used in thermal power plants to produce electricity.
- Coal is also used as a fuel in various industries.
