Biogas Energy: Biogas and Global Warming [The virtues of biogas as a clean fuel have been known since the late nineteenth century but the great resurgence of interest in biogas capture – hence methane capture – is due to the rapidly growing spectre of global warming (GW). Anthropogenic causes, which directly or indirectly release methane into the atmosphere, are responsible for as much as a third of the overall additional GW that is occurring at present. Hence the dual advantage of methane capture – generating energy while controlling GW – have come to the fore.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[The virtues of biogas as a clean fuel have been known since the late nineteenth century but the great resurgence of interest in biogas capture – hence methane capture – is due to the rapidly growing spectre of global warming (GW). Anthropogenic causes, which directly or indirectly release methane into the atmosphere, are responsible for as much as a third of the overall additional GW that is occurring at present. Hence the dual advantage of methane capture – generating energy while controlling GW – have come to the fore.]
