Firewood is something we use every single day here in the Boma. In this video, we walk you through how we use it, the challenges related to gathering it, and the promise we see in using biogas in the future.
Biogas is a logical part of our permaculture program. It’s an environmentally-friendly, renewable and sustainable energy source we can produce right in the community. It is created by breaking down organic matter; food scraps, animal and human waste in an enclosed container. The gas produced from the decay of the organics is piped to stoves … and then used as fuel; instead of firewoods. Our plan is to begin with a biogas plant right beside our kitchen. It would provide about 50% of the fuel we need to cook the 1500 meals we provide for the students and teachers each day.
