The correct answer is B) methane
The chief constituent of gobar gas is methane (CH4). It is a mixture of methane, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. This energy release allows biogas to be used as fuel. It can be used for any heating purpose, such as cooking, and can also be used in a gas engine.
Methane is the primary constituent, making up approximately 60-90% of the gas composition, while carbon dioxide makes up the remaining 10-40%. Other minor components such as hydrogen sulfide, siloxanes, and moisture may also be present. Biogas is a clean, renewable fuel source that can provide an alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
