Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Percentage methane content of biogas is
A
10-20 %
B
20-35 %
C
40-45 %
D
50-75 %
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Raw biogas typically consists of methane (50–75%), carbon dioxide (25–50%), and smaller amounts of nitrogen (2–8%). Trace levels of hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, hydrogen, and various volatile organic compounds are also present in biogas depending on the feedstock.

Detailed explanation-2: -The methane content of biogas typically ranges from 45% to 75% by volume, with most of the remainder being CO2.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biogas consists mainly of methane (CH4) 75% and carbon dioxide (CO2) 25%. Biogas is produced by using organic material, which is broken down with the help of bacteria in an anaerobic environment in the absence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -The percentage of methane in biogas is 75 %. Biogas consists mainly of methane (CH4) 75% and carbon dioxide (CO2) 25%.

Detailed explanation-5: -Biogas contains roughly 50-70 percent methane, 30-40 percent carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases. The liquid and solid digested material, called digestate, is frequently used as a soil amendment.
