Each household produces tons of decomposable waste every day which is just thrown away as garbage. India alone generate more than 1,00,000 metric tonnes of solid waste every day, which is higher than many countries’ total daily waste generation taken together. This waste should be used in a way to save the environment.
What is Biogas?
Biogas is known as an environmentally-friendly energy source.
Biogas is a type of biofuel that is naturally produced from the decomposition of organic waste. When organic matter, such as food scraps and animal waste, break down in an environment absent of oxygen they release a blend of gases, primarily methane and carbon dioxide. Because this decomposition happens in an anaerobic environment, the process of producing biogas is also known as anaerobic digestion.
Anaerobic digestion is a natural form of waste-to-energy that uses the process of fermentation to breakdown organic matter. Due to the high content of methane in biogas, biogas is flammable, and therefore produces a deep blue flame, and can be used as an energy source.
About HomeBiogas:
HomeBiogas is a company based in Israel founded by Yair Teller, Oshik Efrati and Erez Lancer in 2012. In 2016, HomeBiogas system became commercially available, attracting customers with their Homebiogad 1.0. After further research, fine-tuning, and streamlining processes they invented the most advanced model that was lower cost, easier to set-up and had a larger capacity for treating waste and making biogas – the HomeBiogas 2.0.
Household waste and organic matter such as meat, dairy, and animal manure are fed into the appliance inlet. Bacteria breakdown organic waste in a naturally occurring process, and HomeBiogas stores and harnesses the energy created so that you can use the gas for cooking and liquid fertilizer for farming.
