The Wikipedia Ethosolution Idea and Community: Open Source Education and Free Information for All

Home Biogas Plant Design and the Advantages of Biogas for Home Implementation and Sustainability

One Community is partnered with Hestia Home Biogas to help forward home biogas plant design and promote the advantages of biogas over fossil fuels. For those who don’t already know, biogas is virtually identical to fossil natural gas, only instead of taking 65 million years to make, it can be made every day in our own backyard using a simple biodigester that requires no moving parts, special equipment, or chemicals. As amazing as this natural energy source is, it has been greatly under-utilized in the United States with less than 100 homes benefiting from it here. Meanwhile, in China over 50 million households are presently using biogas and towns in countries like Sweden operate complete bus fleets on biogas. Take a look at the video and crowdfunding campaign on this blog :)
