New Ideas

I am currently working on finding new organic waste to put into the digester that will yield more methane gas. The waste that I have used as of now has not created the methane levels that I am looking for in order to produce a flame.

Now that I have done more research I am learning that methane is actually a pretty dangerous gas. It is about 20 times as worse a green house gas as carbon dioxide. Because of this, it is very important that any methane that is produced is burned.
