bio-gas is any gas that is created within living organisms as a bi-product of digestion. It is often referred to as fermentation. Yeast is a common organism that is responsible for much bio-gas.
Methane is a bio-gas that is useful as a fuel.
;-D It may be green, but it still smells bad!

Biogas is formed under anaerobic conditions when organic materials are converted into gases (fuel) and organic fertilizer (sludge) through microbial reactions.
Methane is the main constituent (63%) of the biogas. (The other major constituent is carbon dioxide = 30%.) It is known by various names such as biofuel, sewerage gas, Klar gas, sludge gas, will-o-the wisp of marsh lands, fool’s fire, gobar gas, bio-energy and even fuel of the future. Biogas is often used for cooking and lighting purposes in the rural sector. It burns with a blue flame without smoke and is without odor..
Similarly, fuel oil is produced from domestic wastes, agricultural wastes, forestry wastes, etc..... by the process of "pyrolysis" (destructive distillation or decomposition of organic wastes in anaerobic conditions at high temperatures).
