Biogas: From Grass to Gas (English)

Biogas technology is a new twist on an old tradition: using cow dung in a clean, efficient way to produce cooking and heating fuel in the form of safely produced methane gas.

Find out why biogas is the most cost-effective energy solution for India's rural population and find out how YOU can help -- by encouraging local governments to support biogas projects more enthusiastically, by supporting the technology financially, and even by aiding in the construction of the plants themselves!

You can get more information about the technology at saisanctuary.com!

Hi, this is a great design. Can this design be made available? Where can I get it? How does the slurry flow out of this? Where is the inlet placed on this design? I would like to get more information on this design. Can you please send me details to my email? Thanks.

Hi...nice and impressive post. I am from Asansol, West Bengal, India and putting up a 40 cows dairy farm. Seems a Biogas plant would be a gr8 idea to put up within it, however mostly for electricity generation. Is your technology work at bigger level too, I want to use it...can you pls get in touch with me on this. Thanks. 91-9800-780-441

@jjenson2006 No, the gas that is produced is odorless.
