DIY Biogas Workshop

Biogas has been used for decades in different countries and projects around the globe to produce gas for cooking or heating. Many permaculturists know it as the best tool when it comes to the first stage of black water purification. Other small farms use it to deal with animal manure. Homesteaders use it to turn food scraps into energy. And that is the magic: DIY biogas plants transform waste material into energy! It's pretty fair to say that it is a tremendously valuable tool for every farm or homestead. And besides: it is absolutely safe.

On this course you will learn the basics of biogas theory: what it is, different kinds of digesters, how to handle and use the gas and a lot more. After lunch we get down to business and build an actual DIY, small-scale biogas plant! We will also get to know the biogas digester at the premises.

If you want to learn how to build a digester for yourself or are just interested in the matter and want to see what this biogas thing is all about - welcome to the course!
