How does it work?

The BiogasPro enables anaerobic digestion of the organic materials (without oxygen).  It is like a composting process, except that compost is produced by bacteria operating in the presence of oxygen (aerobic digestion). Anaerobic digestion in the BiogasPro is performed in water by different types of bacteria, and is more efficient and more manageable than the aerobic digestion in your compost heap.  Our biogas digester retains all of the incoming nutrients and makes them available in the liquid leaving the system; a composting process can lose up to 70% of its nutrients to the ground and atmosphere.

By capturing the gas in the BiogasPro and burning it for cooking, the methane releases heat and carbon dioxide reducing its greenhouse gas effect to one twentieth (or 5%) of what it was.
