Poop + Urine = Cheap Biogas Source
Interesting article on Treehugger discusses how biogas is improving life in Uganda:
“In developing countries – where food is scarce and reliable energy supplies are even scarcer – necessity often becomes the mother of invention; so it is in Uganda, where farmers have resorted to using human urine and excreta – mixed in with banana peels, algae, water hyacinth and poultry droppings – as an inexpensive source of biogas. This cheap alternative is being pushed by Heifer International Uganda (HIU), an NGO working to reduce hunger and poverty around the world by sharing livestock and knowledge.”
