Electricity/Biogas generation from garbage

Waste is a huge problem in the world, but new endeavors are formulating plans to
use garbage as a useful resource. Wastes and residuals are undeniably part of human
society. The accumulation of these materials and the throw-away philosophy
result in many environmental and health issues and safety hazard problems, and
prevent sustainable development in terms of resource recovery and recycling of
waste materials. The carbon sources in the wastes can be converted to energy
(electricity, heat, chill, fuels) and even materials using different technologies
including collecting and converting current landfill gases, wet or dry anaerobic
digestion to biogas, incineration, gasification and pyrolysis.

The Benefits of Biogas

Biogas is a gas that is produced from organic matter. It is created by being broken
down biologically to create electricity. It is a commonly used form of renewable
energy, mainly used in domestic and industrial spheres. Biogas is a blend of carbon
dioxide and methane, and its created by plant as well as animal waste. In the home,
biogas is mainly used for cooking. It creates less pollution than traditional cooking
gas.

Requirements
A container. This will be used as the digester and its the place where your trash
will be stored.
A second, larger container. This is where you will put the reservoir and water.
A bucket. This is your reservoir and it must therefore be smaller than the second
container because it will be placed inside it.
Steam engine or cooker.
Hose. This will go from the reservoir to the steam engine or cooker.
Small stick. This is used to secure the hose in the reservoir.
Wire and ropes
Tap this will control the exit of biogas from the reservoir.
