Transition Whatcom

I'd like to include discussions regarding biogas generation in this group, if no one objects.

Brian from Inspiration Farms and I have discussed and plan on building a small scale biogas digester this spring and start planning for a larger unit that can handle the waste generated from his farm and collect the gas for cooking, lighting, heating and possibly powering a generator is sufficient volume is produced (possibly only during summer months). Ideal use of this biogas is to have it fuel a fuel cell and produce electricity much more efficiently and quietly than a generator.

Here is the pdf of the manual that we are going to use to help us with our full scale digester.

Here is a good video Brian found:

Anyone want to volunteer and help with this project?

Here is some interesting info on a small unit for sale in india for converting food waste into biogas. Brian (Inspiration farms) and Tom Anderson build one along these lines. I want to build one too for my household compost waste.
