About Biogas
What is Biogas? mixture of gases:• methane (60% - 70%) • carbon dioxide (30% - 40%) • a small amount of N2,CO,H2,O2 etc.
Renewable Energy: can be used as fuel.
Energy content:1m³ of Biogas =0.66l diesel fuel
=0.75l petrol (or gas)=0.85 kg coal

Production of Biogas
The producing process of Biogas : Anaeobic Digestion (without O2)
Three Stages: - Hydrolysis- Acidification- Methane producing

China: biggest biogas consumer in the world
�Start: at the End of 1960´s
� by the end of 2007, ca 26 million household biogas consumers
� And more than 4 million new consumers are increasing each year.
� More than 8 provinces have more than 1 million biogas consumers
� by the end of 2007: annual biogas production has reached to 10.4 billion m³.

Houshold biogas digester in china
� The volume of these household digesters is ca. 6-8 m³.

Biogastechnology in Costa Rica
With the aid of a donation from the UN Women's Group in Vienna, Austria and the technical assistance of the Agriculture Ministry office in Guatuso, the Santa Fe Women's Group was able to build 16 biodigesters in 2006.
They are still dedicated to increasing energy independence through biogas by extending the privilege of a biodigester to other deserving families in Santa Fe and the greater Guatuso area.

Reasons for the inadequate dissemination
• lower population density
• High investment costs
• Lack of legal framework
• The operators / users were not sufficiently trained
(information about handling and maintenance was (information about handling and maintenance was
inadequate)
• Lack of motivation of the operator / user
• Material errors and technical defects
• reduced animal holdings
• Evacuation of ownership and water problems etc.

Summary and Outlook
• Biogas technology: impact on aspects of energy, environment, agricultural production, socio-economic development, and health and sanitation.
• For solutions of the environmental problems and covering the energy gap in Latin America and in Africa.
• establish of organizations; started a series of the national and • establish of organizations; started a series of the national and international biogas programs to facilitate the biogas development. � GTZ UTEC, � SNV, � Swiss contact, � SEQUA and RELUX have initiated some cooperation with local partners in Latin-American and Africa for the use and dissemination of biogas technology.
