Learn how to turn kitchen scraps, crop waste, and manures into clean and totally renewable cooking gas for your homestead. Energy expert, Richard Freudenberger instructs this workshop on how to build a small scale biogas digester. Biogas is the mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen, primarily consisting of methane and carbon dioxide. Save money, make your own energy and improve the efficiency of your farm or homestead. In part 2, Richard talks about the amount of energy available in biogas measured in BTUs compared to natural gas and potential humanure applications.

I recommend your visitation of any one of many public utility and municipal operations activated sludge wastewater treatment plants across the country, that operate anaerobic digesters. There is a lot of information available for Digester operation that could assist and improve your workshop. You can also contact the Water Environmental Federation (WEF) for additional information.. There are numerable designs for digesters, including some that are egg-shaped that do require as much agitation.
Could insulating blankets help retain input heat? Stack em deep and the digester wouldnt know what time of day it was
