Biogas - Energy Content
Energy content in biogas produced from municipal and industrial waste.
Typical lower heating value for biogas
- produced from municipal solid waste is 8.8 GJ/tonne (ranging 8.4 - 9.2 GJ/tonne)
- produced from industrial waste is 13.7 GJ/tonne (ranging 8.7 - 19 GJ/tonne)
- 1 GJ/tonne = 1000 kJ/kg = 430 Btu/lbm
