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
