Frequently asked questions
What is biogas and why is monitoring important?
Biogas is becoming a significant green energy source globally. It's produced when organic matter converts to biomethane, which is either used as fuel or destroyed by flaring. Monitoring is crucial as both processes are regulated by the Environment Agency to ensure environmental protection.
Why is flaring necessary?
Flaring is used when engines can't generate power from gas. It safely combusts methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to reduce the release of these harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
