Abstract: Biogas is a readily available energy resource that significantly reduces greenhouse-gas emission compared to the emission of landfill gas to the atmosphere (Nabuuna and Okure, 2005). Being a source of renewable natural gas, it has been adopted as one of the best alternatives for fossil fuels after 1970’s world energy crisis (Imam et al. 2013).
