Help install a working biodigester for a family in Eronga, Michoacan, Mexico. Join our Hands-on Biodigester Installation Course, August 8-10th, 2008

This three-day course will cover an overview of biodigester applications, and the impacts this technology can have on the energy production, health, water quality, emissions and economics of households and communities. The science of anaerobic digestion and its many applications will be covered, but the course focus will be the installation of a functioning biodigester and working with the family members to design, install, and support the system.

The goal is to provide a fuel source to a local family for cooking and heating as well as a waste treatment system for the production of organic fertilizer. Biodigesters convert organic waste into clean renewable energy for heating, cooking, or the production electricity and has the potential to make significant reductions of greenhouse gas emissions.

Projects

Adopt-a-Biodigestor

Help improve the lives of people in rural Mexico by adopting a biodigestor, a system that converts organic waste into a methane gas mixture which can be used for cooking, heating, and generating electricity. Through the International Renewable Resources Institute (IRRI) and SEI you can provide a custom installed biodigester for a family in rural Mexico. These systems receive manure and agricultural waste from small family farms and convert it into a high quality soil amendment, while producing methane gas. In many cases it can provide enough gas for all of a family's cooking and heating energy needs.

Any size donation is welcome, but people donating $500 or more receive an IRRI Mexico Biodigester Manual, photos of the construction process and biodigester you helped install, and a certificate for your participation in the program.

International tax deductible donations can be made at the Solar Energy International Website: http://www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaID=124186
