Which of the following gases makes major percentage in bio-gas?

Correct option is D

The major component of biogas is methane (CH₄), which typically makes up about 50-75% of biogas. It is a highly combustible gas produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials such as food waste, agricultural waste, and manure.

1. Methane is the primary constituent of biogas.
2. Methane makes up 50-75% of the composition of biogas.
3. Biogas is produced through anaerobic digestion by microbes.
4. Biogas can be used as a renewable source of energy.
5. Other gases in biogas include carbon dioxide (CO₂), which is present in smaller amounts.
6. Biogas is a clean and sustainable energy source, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

• Butane: A gaseous hydrocarbon, not typically a component of biogas.
• Propane: Like butane, propane is a hydrocarbon, not a major component of biogas.
• Ethane: A less common component of biogas, with methane being the dominant gas.
