Biogas vs Natural Gas: Similarities and Differences

Biogas vs. Natural Gas

In an era when clean energy and environmental conservation have become topics of interest, choosing alternative energy that has a lesser impact on the environment is something that many businesses and households must consider. In this article, Papop present the differences and similarities between biogas and natural gas. This will make it easier for you to decide which type of energy is right for your needs.

Similar points between biogas and natural gas

1. Both can power many types of engines and equipment:
   • Both biogas and natural gas can be utilized in engines and equipment such as cars and power plants. and home appliances such as gas stoves
2. Both have clean combustion:
   • When compared to other fossil fuels such as oil and coal, biogas and natural gas burn more efficienct and cleaner. This results in less greenhouse gas emission.
3. Both provide stable power:
   • Both of these gases can provide stable and highly efficient power. They can be used all year round, regardless of the weather conditions.

Differences between biogas and natural gas

1. Origin:
   • biogas: Produced from the decomposition of organic matter such as organic waste, animal manure or agricultural waste by biological processes.
   • natural gas: Caused by the decomposition of underground plant and animal remains over millions of years though geological and physical processes.
2. Sustainability:
   • biogas: It is a sustainable alternative energy, because it can be produced from waste that already exists. Furthermore, the biogas production process reduces waste and emission of greenhouse gases.
   • natural gas: Even though it’s cleaner than other fossil energies, but natural gas is still a limited energy source and cannot be replaced in the long term.
3. Production process:
   • biogas: The biogas production process can be done in a closed system, such as CSTR system or UASB that uses anaerobic digestion.
   • natural gas: Must go through the process of drilling and extracting from natural sources which is more complex and uses more resources.
4. Environmental impact:
   • biogas: Has less impact on the environment, because it can reduce waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
   • natural gas: Although it is cleaner than other fossil fuels. But natural gas drilling and extraction still exists. These process can adversely impact the environmental to a certain extent.

Summary

Biogas and natural gas both have different advantages and disadvantages. Choosing which type of power to use depends on your needs and limitations.
