Abstract

Utilization of renewable energy plays a pivotal role in dealing with the problem of clean and sustainable energy supply. One of them is the use of biomethane. Biomethane also known as an advanced biogas. This is considered due to the availability of feedstock and ease to obtain. This paper aims to investigate the emission characteristics of biogas fuel in electric generator engine. A 420 CC spark ignition four stroke engine with a maximum output power of 6000 W is applied in this paper. The investigation was carried out under various electric load conditions. Compared to gasoline, biogas emits relatively lower CO emissions than gasoline under variations in electric load. Results show that CO emissions of both fuels are relatively decreasing as the electric load increases. HC concentration decreased with increasing electric load while operating engine using gasoline. The maximum CO2 emission achieved using gasoline is 8.5% around a 300 W electric load. NO emissions from both biogas and gasoline fuels increase as the electric load increases. The maximum NO observed at electric load of 500 W is 72 ppm and 25 ppm using gasoline and biogas respectively. Biogas fuelled electric generator system can achieve clean and sustainable energy supply.
