The resulting reaction uses up the gases and prevents them from rising into
the atmosphere. Biogas plants are slowly becoming popular due to the many
benefits associated with them. They are already being used for public
transport, industrial heating and many more applications.
Advantages of Biogas
1. Renewable Source of Energy: To begin with, biogas is considered to be
a renewable source of energy. Since it often produced from materials that
form sewage and waste products, the only time it will be depleted is when we
stop producing any waste.
5. Large number of Jobs: Either way, work opportunities are created for
thousands of people in these plants. These jobs are a blessing in rural areas,
which are the targeted grounds for the use of biogas. In fact, biogas can
easily be decentralized, making it easier to access by those living in remote
areas or facing frequent power outages.
6. Little Capital Investment: Biogas are easy to set up and require little
capital investment on a small scale basis. In fact, many farms can become
self sufficient by utilizing biogas plants and the waste material produced by
their livestock each day. A single cow can provide enough waste material
within a day to power a light bulb the entire day.
Disadvantages of Biogas
1. Little Technology Advancements: First of all, the current systems in
place used to create biogas are not as efficient as they get. Little new
technology has been introduced for streamlining the process and making it
more cost effective. As a result, large scale industrial production of biogas is
still not on the energy map. Although it could solve the energy issues being
faced by countries all over the world, very few investors are willing to put in
the startup capital. It is also not the best idea to construct one biogas plant
per house, which means that a central system will have to be put into place.
