BioCNG vs Conventional Fuels Comparison
BioCNG vs. Conventional Fuels: Emissions Comparison

Key Takeaways

  • BioCNG produces drastically lower emissions compared to conventional fuels, with reductions of up to 99.9% for some pollutants
  • Contains upto 99.x% methane after purification (compared to 55-60% in raw biogas)
  • Compressed at 200-250 Bar for efficient storage and transport
  • Higher ignition temperature (600°C) makes BioCNG safer than petrol and diesel
  • BioCNG has a flammability range of 5-15%, making it less flammable and therefore safer than many traditional fuels
  • High octane number results in improved thermal efficiency in engines
BioCNG Production Process
1
Feedstock Collection
Collection of agricultural waste, food waste, municipal solid waste, or animal dung that serves as raw material for biogas generation.
2
Anaerobic Digestion
Microorganisms break down organic matter in absence of oxygen through four stages: hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis, producing biogas with 55-60% methane.
3
Biogas Purification
Raw biogas undergoes purification using various technologies like water scrubbing, pressure swing adsorption, or membrane separation to remove CO₂, H₂S, and moisture.
4
Compression
Purified biogas (96-97% methane) is compressed at 200-250 Bar to produce BioCNG, ready for use in vehicles and other applications with minimal modifications to existing infrastructure.
