Abstract: Biogas as a respected source of renewable energy is used in various areas for heating or in power cogeneration units. It is produced by anaerobic fermentation of biodegradable materials. The utilization of biogas is wide - from process of combustion in order to obtain thermal energy, combined heat and power production, gas combustion engines, micro turbines or fuel cells up to trigeneration. Biogas composition depends on the raw material. The aim of this paper was to develop a new methodology; according to this methodology, by means of gas mixture thermodynamics and tabular exact parameters of individual gaseous components, all the necessary thermodynamic and operating values of biogas composition were calculated. The mathematical model of biogas combustion was elaborated. For an accurate realization of calculation, a computing program was designed.
