Biogas digesters represent a good way to recycle. This technology has been
around for many years in countries such as India, parts of Africa and
South America. Today, some countries such as the United Sates, the United
Kingdom, Germany, Sweden and Australia are improving this technology for
better use in their local communities.

The technology Biogas is a system designed to turn organic waste products
into usable energy. Biogas is a kind of gas that is produced to reuse
organic waste that had been already used.Biogas is like a big recycling
machine. It’s a pollution free resource, so that means it would be no harm
to nature. Which is good because that means if we have more technology of
Biogas then we wouldn’t need to use our other resources that create
pollution.

A biogas digester takes in your food scraps, grass clippings, and any
other type of organic material and changes it through a natural process.
The 2 main things of this process are Methane and Fertiliser. Methane is a
gas that can be used to cook food, heat our homes, and produce electricity
sustainably. The Fertiliser is a nutrient [makes the thing grow] rich
liquid that can replace expensive chemical Fertilisers and can be used to
grow more food. The food scraps can be placed in the biogas digester and
continue this sustainable cycle for generations to come.

Biogas digesters use a simple technology. The Biogas digester takes in the
organic waste and uses the bacteria to break it done. Once it’s broken
done it would eventually produce methane and fertiliser. The waste can be
used as a natural fertiliser and the methane can be burned as a fuel for
heating or to produce electricity. The biogas digester can make use of
almost any organic material that can rot. So, everything from grass
cuttings to leftover sandwiches and vegetables can be processed because it
can rot.

Biogas is a technology that recycles the waste and turns it into something
better. Biogas helps our lives in many ways. It’s a pollution free
resource so obviously it won’t pollute when it’s working. It’s really
helpful for the local community because apparently we have a lot of waste
and the biogas digester turns that waste into methane and fertiliser which
we then use again.
