Key Terms

Biogas
A mixture of gases produced by the anaerobic digestion of organic matter.

Example: Biogas can be used for cooking and heating.

Anaerobic Digestion
A biological process that breaks down organic material in the absence of oxygen.

Example: Anaerobic digestion is used in wastewater treatment.

Feedstock
Raw material used to produce biogas.

Example: Food waste is a common feedstock for biogas production.

Retention Time
The duration that feedstock remains in the digester.

Example: A longer retention time can enhance biogas yield.

pH Level
A measure of acidity or alkalinity in a solution.

Example: The optimal pH for biogas production is around 6.8 to 7.4.

Thermophilic
Referring to organisms that thrive at high temperatures.

Example: Thermophilic digestion occurs at temperatures above 50°C.
