Biogas production at home offers many advantages. It provides an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels like firewood, fuel oil, and kerosene while mitigating environmental impacts including deforestation and soil degradation. Household anaerobic digesters create energy from organic waste by turning it into methane gas and digestate, helping alleviate energy poverty in rural areas while contributing […]

As methane emissions deplete rapidly compared to carbon dioxide emissions, cutting them can help quickly lower global warming. Furthermore, cutting methane emissions is both cost-effective and easy. The Climate & Clean Air Coalition estimates that human-caused methane emissions could be reduced by as much as 45 percent this decade, helping prevent nearly 0.3 degrees Celsius […]
