Which one of the following is the major constituent of biogas?
Biogas is produced from the anaerobic digestion of organic materials, which releases methane (\(CH_4\)) and carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) as major components.
The composition of biogas typically consists of:
The high methane content makes biogas a valuable fuel source.
Option A: Carbon dioxide - while present in biogas, it is not the major constituent.
Option B: Nitrous oxide - not a significant component of biogas.
Option D: Oxygen - anaerobic digestion occurs without oxygen, making it irrelevant.
Remember: "Methane Matters" emphasizes the importance of methane in biogas.
