Digester Size: Small (5-20 cubic meters)The climate crisis, defined by rapid and ongoing changes in global climates, is caused in part by the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Organic waste has played a significant role in the climate crisis, with food production accounting for 26% of global greenhouse gas emissions [1]. Biodigesters provide a sustainable solution for managing organic waste while generating renewable energy and nutrient-rich fertilizer. Biogas, the gas produced by the anaerobic digestion of organic matter, is a sustainable, carbon-neutral energy source for cooking on gas stoves or converting to electric energy generators. However, temperature is a key…
