A pilot program is going into place this summer in Oxfordshire using anaerobic biogas digesters to provide for the natural gas needs of 130 homes. If the experiment gets satisfactory marks it will lead the way for a large scale biogas digester infrastructure in the UK over the next few years. The UK is politically […]
Biogas Digesters, The Science Behind
This is freewheelings.com first guest post by Laurel McFadden, enjoy: As one of the science-types behind the Cordova Biogas project, I’m here to write a little nerd-post about the science that our digestors are based on. Other than being a great opportunity to try to mitigate some of the energy needs of Alaskans (and northerners […]
The Cordova, Alaska Biogas Digester Project
Greeting folks, I am in Cordova, Alaska working on a collaborative project between the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, the Cordova Electric Cooperative, the Cordova Energy Center, The Cordova High School Science Club and Solar Cities building biogas digesters. The project is an experiment under grants from the Denali Commission and National Geographic to test the […]
Cordova, Alaska Biogas Digester Sketchup
I spent some time today creating a basic Google Sketchup (you can download the application for free from this link) drawing of the biogas digester build in Cordova. I’m also making the original 3D file available for download if anyone is interested in tweaking it further. Below are a few exported 2D photos:
