Which is the major component of biogas?

The major component of biogas is Methane, which contributes 50-75% of its composition. Along with methane, biogas also contains Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) (25-50%), Nitrogen (0-10%), and Hydrogen (0-1%). Methane is the primary energy-producing component, making it the major component of biogas and responsible for its efficiency as a fuel.
