We are living in a period of time when human civilization is on the brink of fall and that’s because of the irreversible damage that we are causing to nature. This has not only been recognized at the global level but countries are coming forth to take steps that will not be able to change the fate but at least reduce its effect.
One of the steps that Japan’s firm Suzuki in India has taken in parallel with India’s vision to achieve carbon neutrality by 2070 is the production of fuel from cow dung. It’s going to expand its domain in the biogas industry which will revolutionize the fuel sector.
On January 26 the firm said that its expansion strategy calls for gasoline made from cow excreta. They are going to look at the production and distribution of biogas made from cow manure in India. Suzuki is in talks with the dairy sector for amassing the raw material required for this step.
If we talk about the step involved in the production of biogas it is produced anaerobically by anaerobic bacteria. The cow dung along with anaerobic bacteria is kept in airtight containers that don’t let oxygen enter. The bacteria feed on cow dung and that leads to the production of gases like methane, carbon dioxide, and other gases. The gases are treated and contaminants are removed. This eventually leads to the increased methane concentration that is compressed and used as natural gas.
