BIOGAS Pros: Biogas is a prosperous energy source. It mainly comprises methane, which produces energy, burning up to 55 MJ (megajoules ) per kg. It is made by anaerobic bacteria, which acts upon organic sludge ( made of animal feces, dead flora, fauna, and leftover food), making biogas excellent for using leftover organic matter that would otherwise be wasted and pollute the surrounding environment. Cons:
GEOTHERMAL Pros: Geothermal energy derives from the very core and mantle of the earth. It heats water, making it useful for heating homes, bathing, and, most importantly, generating electricity.
Cons:
HYDROGEN Pros: Hydrogen can be easily manufactured by electrolysis, which converts water into oxygen and hydrogen. Hydrogen is a highly energy-dense chemical and produces about 120MJ (megajoules) per kg. Upon burning, it makes water, which has various uses. Oxygen can be used for rocket fuel, hospital supplies, and hydrogen for creating energy. Cons:
