What is biogas? Biogas is produced by organic materials as they break down naturally. It is composed of approximately 60% methane (the principle ingredient in natural gas) and 40% carbon dioxide. Methane is a greenhouse gas that has twenty one times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide and is a major contributor to climate change. Unlike other greenhouse gasses, methane can be used to produce clean renewable energy that can offset traditional fuel sources. Biogas capturing systems, such as anaerobic digestion and landfill wells, can be used in conjunction with BTU's equipment to create marketable energy from a waste by-product that was previously vented to the atmosphere.

Helping with the energy decision: The chart to the below represents energy values based on the assumptions described below. While energy values vary significantly across the nation, BTU's team of energy specialists can help guide you to make the most cost efficient decision for your biogas.

Values above are based on rates of $0.075 per kWh (electric), $10.00 per MMBtu (natural gas), and $2.00 per gallon of gasoline equivalent (CNG).
