One of the most common problems now in the world is not having enough energy at home especially at rural communities. Perhaps deforestation and global warming are some of the reasons for the decrease in fuel availability to the extent that one of the most basic needs cooking at home is affected.
Fortunately, villagers can collect waste from cows, buffalos, chickens, ducks, vegetable craps or anything that can rot and process them in a biogas plant. The waste collected processed in an oxygen-free biogas plant can produce two important products: methane gas for cooking to replace expensive and unhealthy fuel and organic fertilizer to replace the synthetic and commercial fertilizers.
Above is the diagram on how to start a biogas plant. This idea developed when a friend from Davao City introduced a chicken farm that has a biogas plant. I was excited about it so I started reading and searching until I met a Thai friend who owns one. I am looking forward to passing the knowledge of this to my community soon.
