Biogas Discussion in the Biogas Forum focusses on different types / technologies of biogas digesters within households, schools or other small and medium scale applications. It allows you to exchange on experiences difficulties and options using biogas as an energy source. Sharing your experiences will be helpful to other (potential) users of Biogas as renewable energy source if your descriptions (a) are focussed and as precise as possible, (b) give some background on the circumstances they were made (c) avoid unnecessary generalisations (e.g. "biogas dos not work") The same applies for your requested help. (a) Try to formulate your questions clearly and (b) give some detail on the technology you are concerned with and (c) avoid general questions (e.g. could biogas be a good option for me?) that can not be answered without knowing all the side conditions. |
