How much energy is in a cubic metre of biogas?
sourced
Raw biogas at 55-65% methane carries about 20-23 MJ per cubic metre, because only the methane fraction holds energy. Pure methane is about 35.8 MJ per cubic metre, and one cubic metre of biogas is roughly equivalent to 0.5-0.6 litres of diesel.
