- BIOTECH, India, Turning food waste into biogas
http://www.ashdenawards.org/winners/biotech BIOTECH won an Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy in 2007. To find out more visit the link above and check out the Ashden Awards Blog http://ashdenawards.blogspot.com
BIOTECH has succeeded in tackling the problem of the dumping of food waste in the streets of Kerala through the installation of biogas plants that use the food waste to produce gas for cooking and, in some cases, electricity for lighting; the residue serves as a fertiliser. To date BIOTECH has built and installed an impressive 12,000 domestic plants (160 of which also use human waste from latrines to avoid contamination of ground water), 220 institutional plants and 17 municipal plants that use waste from markets to power generators. The disposal of food waste and the production of clean energy are not the only benefits of BIOTECH’s scheme. The plants also replace the equivalent of about 3.7 tonnes/day of LPG and diesel which in turn results in the saving of about 3,700 tonnes/year of CO2, with further savings from the reduction in methane production as a result of the uncontrolled decomposition of waste, and from the transport of LPG.

Read the article…
How can they say they have many on drugs…and then turn around and sell the idea of Mental Health and putting more people on drugs – only cheaper – as a solution?
To me – it’s just more of the same isn’t it?
I would have liked to see the side where Canada Post looked [...]
