Volume of Biogas Needed for Cooking, Electricity and Lighting - Henlus - 05-01-2015

Methane (CH4): 50-70 vol.%, carbon dioxide (CO2): 28-48 vol.%, other gases: up to 2 vol.%.
..
1. The gas consumption per person and meal = 150-300 litres biogas.
..
2. Boiling 1 litre of water = 30-40 litre of biogas
..
3. Boiling 1/2 kg rice = 120-140 litres of biogas.
..
4. Boiling 1/2 kg legumes = 160-190 litres of biogas.
..
NB: 1L = 0.001m3 (cubic meter)

5. What can 1 m3 biogas do?
..
a. It can illuminate a gas lamp equivalent of 60 W non-electricity saving bulb for about 7 hours, resulting in a light performance efficiency of only 7%, 93% of the energy content is transformed into heat.
..
b. It can cook 3 meals for a family of 5-6 persons.
..
c. It can generate 2 kWh of electricity, the rest turns into heat which can also be used for heating applications.
