Product Description
The first edition of the book quickly established itself as the book on biogas generation. Now in a newly revised edition, David House brings together all the information, from the most theoretical scientific research to grass roots homescale trial and error. Here are the detailed designs for generators and the knowledge, encouragement, imagination, and humor you will need to build a generator of your own. While biogas may not yet be a household word, you should consider it seriously if you believe in the future of alternative energy. Use biogas for illumination, cooking, water heating, refrigeration, space heating, and to fuel vehicles. *Over 100 figures and tables *All the necessary formulas *6 model generators and a design flow chart *Complete list of resources *Extensive bibliography |

Everything Biogas by John Barrie (Ann Arbor, MI)  4 Stars
November 09, 2008
Biogas is amazing. With simple technology you can convert yard waste or animal waste into natural gas. I have some friends in Guatemala that install biogas digesters for rural families so they don't burn wood indoors. (smoke from wood fires is the #1 cause of death in children under 5 worldwide)
The biogas book is written in a professional and folksy style. It has plenty of references.
I am in the process of designing a biogas machine. It would be helpful if the book also had plans for a variety of biogas digesters, but that may have to wait for The Biogas Handbook #2.
If you want to find out how much gas you can generate from a given feedstock, or if you want to compare different types of digesters, this is your book.

| Methane Generation from Human, Animal, and Agricultural Wastes
by National Academy of Sciences (Author)
This book deals with the need for alternative energy supplies. Our fossil fuel reserves will eventually be exhausted. Moreover, these reserves are unequally distributed and are becoming too costly for many countries that must purchase them. In addition, the cost of transportation may sharply limit the use of fossil fuels in the rural areas of many developing countries. And, as recent events have shown, the cost – and the availability – of these fuels is determined less by market forces than...

| Biogas Vol 3: A Chinese Biogas Manual
by Michael Cook (Author)
This book contains the ways that the Chinese perfected the process of making methane from organic material. The manual shows you how to dig a hole, make a brick or earth wall and then cover it for continuous production of free methane from the digesting material. This is a very low maintenance system and the Chinese had over 6 million bio digesters of this model working in the late 70’s/early 80’s. This is one beautiful system that you can build in your own backyard.
