BIOGAS AS A SOURCE OF ENERGY

As my design is for tribal people from cattle I thought that I can use the waste from the cattle to produce energy for cooking and other purposes. 

Biogas typically refers to a gas produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. It is a renewable energy source, like solar and wind energy. Furthermore, biogas can be produced from regionally available raw materials and recycled waste and is environmentally friendly.

I did some research on how it works and what are the requirements to be provided in terms of architecture to have a bio gas plant in my design.

I decided to use a fixed dome bio gas plant in my design after the research.

This is a video showing the construction of a bio gas plant.
