Biogas 3: How the Chineese Make Biogas.
by Michael Cook
ISBN:140 pages   5.5x8.5 inches [size]


This book contains the ways that the Chinese perfected the process of making methane from manure and plant waste. 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, like this model, working in the late 70's/early 80's. This is one beautiful system that you can build in your own backyard or farm and it will provide continous biogas for cooking, lighting and heating.
