Bio-gas is an example for _________________.

  1. Hydro-electric energy

  2. Non-conventional energy

  3. Thermal energy

  4. Nuclear energy
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Energy which is generated by using wind, tides, solar, geothermal heat, and biomass including farm and animal waste as well as human excreta is known as non-conventional energy. All these sources are renewable or inexhaustible and do not cause environmental pollution. Bio-gas is an example for non-conventional energy. It is based upon the use of dung to produce gas which is used as domestic fuel especially in the rural areas. This technique is based on the decomposition of organic matter in the absence of air to yield gas consisting of methane (55%) and carbon dioxide (45%) which can be used as a source of energy.
