This is a methane digester and it's my favorite system here at our land lab It gives us two hours of cooking fuel a day and gives us liquid fertilizer and we no longer have to rely on store-bought gas We first start by filling it up with 1200 liters or 317 gallons of water We then add cow manure which gives it anaerobic bacteria once the initial setup is done We then add one and a half gallons of food scraps a day that can be anything from vegetable scraps to bones bones. The best input though are starches. The bacteria then breaks down all the organic matter that we put inside of it. This creates natural methane. The methane collects in the top bag, but first it goes through a carbon filter, which takes care of the odor. To pressurize the methane gas, sandbags are built into the system to weigh it down. We can now turn a valve on, which will send the methane to our cooktop stove. The one and a half gallons of organic waste gives us two hours of cooking fuel a day. Everything else that's not turned to methane is turned to liquid fertilizer which we give to our plants. This system helps prevent six tons of CO2 emissions a year.
