Abstract: Biogas is the gas produced by the anaerobic degradation of organic matter. In addition to the usual uses in burning, it has widespread applications as a raw material in some industries. The biomass of organic matter decomposition is a good fertilizer for agriculture. Unfortunately, despite such a large potential for reasons such as the cheapness of energy in Iran, the use of this benefical capacity has not been addressed so far.
