Biogas can be Used to Develop Chemicals

In a study discussed by a Finnish research team, it is being established that biogas can be more useful for the chemical industry in order to reduce the usage of products derived from oil and gas.

According to Jouko Arvola from the University of Oulu and experts from the Oulu University of Applied Sciences, due to the increased pressure from global environment related entities, focus on using renewable sources of energy has been increased. Biomass has the ability to be converted into methane through a process called anaerobic fermentation. According to the group of scientists, it willd be much more beneficial to use the gas for industrial purposes instead of simply burning it. The effectiveness of this theory has already been demonstrated in locations such as Finland.

However, scientists also suggest that in order to bring this usage into implementation, food production may require subsidies. At the same time the prices of fossil materials such as oil and gas are on the rise and this will turn to biogas becoming a viable alternative. Many governments can later on support this initiative. The construction of the exclusive biogas units at industrial sites can also lead to the development of various other alternative biogas based applications such as biogas pipelines to biogas users or vehicle users.
