Methane or biogas is a colourless, odourless, flammable gas and the
main constituent, 85% to 90%, of the piped natural gas that we use
in our homes in the UK, Europe and the USA.
Methane can be made using simple apparatus and a process known
as anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion is one of the most
common biological procedures in nature, as the name implies, it
means to carry or breakdown in the absence of air. Once you know
the principles of this process it is possible to make biogas in
small or large quantities from a variety of waste materials. The
book describes making an anaerobic digester using an oil drum and a
rubber inner tube as the gas storage vessel as well as a larger
continuous digester. The book also contains diagrams, list of
materials and websites for further reading.
The gas produced can be used for cooking and heating and even
for running a gas engine.
