Talk:Biogas

message: There are a lot more uses for biogas than electricity and vehicle fuels - in fact these are second last and last uses on my list as they are inefficient, complex and expensive.
I think biogas should be used directly for cooking, lighting or heat if possible. Absorption refrigeration is also possible before using biogas to make electricity (probably to be used for one of the above purposes!). A Combined Heat and Power (CHP) or CoGenerator unit is a bit better use of biogas than simply running a generator.

message: "Swamp gas" redirected here... so nothing about UFO sightings? -70.233.164.27 07:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm also rather confused by the current redirect of "Swamp gas" to this article.  There seems to be no mention of naturally forming and occurring gasses associated with wetland environments such as hydrogen sulfide.  If the redirect is to this article there should be information related to the redirect not just biofuel info.--Kevmin (talk) 07:18, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Redirecting Swamp Gas to this is, IMO, misleading and in error. There is nothing in this article about the composition, production, occurrence, or biological importance of swamp gas. 213.112.199.139 (talk) 07:38, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

text: I totally agree. I searched "Swamp Gas" hoping to find information about gasses from actual wetlands. There's a whole history of scientists investigating the gasses from natural swamps, bogs and the like stemming from beliefs that they caused diseases like malaria. This has nothing to do with Biogas. An article should be created about swamp gas, or if this information exists in another article, Swamp Gas should redirect there.

thread_title:  Malta 

message: The table "Typical composition of Biogas" should explicitly state that the '%' listed is % volume (if it really is) and not some other % such as ppm, mol, mass...etc.  It is typical throughout biogas literature to cite % without stating the basis of the % so one can only assume the % is volume.  Assuming anything is dangerous when the numbers are used for scientific or engineering purposes.

replies: text: Hi Ofentse - I have moved your question to the bottom of this page, as Wikipedia (usually) works from top to bottom. I am not an expert on this subject, and it might be a while before someone who is visits this page. May I suggest asking at our Science Reference Desk instead? That page is regularly visited by many experienced Wikipedia editors, who should hopefully be able to give you some answers. Good luck! --Kateshortforbob talk 13:50, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Production 

message: This is a bit of a red herring. Biogas has been around much longer than man. The history section refers more to harnessing biogas - or anaerobic digestion and I do not believe this is the correct article for it. Fine in anaerobic digestion, not for the gas.--Alex Marshall (talk) 10:22, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  'History' section 

message: "In the UK, sewage gas electricity production is tiny compared to overall power consumption — a mere 1% of total UK gas demand.[32] "
Probably should read electrical demand instead of 'gas demand'.... can't check it because the reference page no longer exists online, an important deficiency whenever a web citation is being used as a reference. In addition, the web page appears to be a promotional page for policy makers, and so its veracity cant be assured. Yet another example of how not to cite information on Wikipedia. I have deleted it.

thread_title: This sentence is nonsensical

message: There is also the misconception in the page that biogas is a renewable resource. It is made by recycling and reusing other materials for more efficient extraction of its resource value before it is discarded. It does not replace itself (like a tree can if left alone long enough), nor is it reusable after it is burned, so it cannot be a renewable resource. Once the raw material is used it can be used for other activities (end product can be used as fertilizer or animal feed), but it cannot be used to make more biogas. Hence, it cannot be a renewable resource. Its creation is only a more efficient use of existing resources. Separate hype from reality in future please.

thread_title: Affect on rural and poor areas

message: I have reverted a large addition to this article.
*It is unduly focused on Poland for the purposes of this article, and would be more suited for a Biogas in Poland article.
*At least part of it is a copyright violation of , and the rest feels very similarly written and is likely copyvio (Google is not being helpful to finding other violations, as it can't find, for example "Currently, in the year 2010, on these data...").
*It was added by User:SEBE2013, who likely has a conflict of interest with http://tkm.sebe2013.eu/index.php/Main_Page and http://www.sebe2013.eu/home/about.
*On a minor point, there are many unfinished, empty sections, and while Wikipedia is always a work in progress, this will not do.

thread_title:  Reversion of large addition 

message: Similar to wood gas vehicles, biogas vehicles appearantly also exist (most are probably experimental though). Still, perhaps it can be mentioned ? Here's a video of a lawnmower that runs straight on grass: http://deschuurvanscheire.een.be/technologie/lange-uitleg-de-gras-grasmachine
Probably equally practical as those wood gas trucks; a more easier way though is probably to make the biogas in a stationary tank first, then store the biogas in an on-board tank on the vehicle and use that instead. Perhaps those CNG-vehicles could even be made to accept biogas (perhaps after some minor changes).
