Biogas

In April of 2010, the construction of a biogas system began in Testfield 1. In the summer of 2011, a second system was built and connected with the first. Both phases of construction took place within the framework of a training for students of the Global Campus: Representatives of global peace projects—for example the peace community “San José de Apartado,” in Colombia, the “Peace Favela” in São Paolo in Brasil, and Philipp Munyasia from Otepic in Kenya—were able to participate and therefore learn the principles of these systems. This knowledge can prepare the way for construction of these biogas systems, with adaptations to local conditions where they live, and contribute to the energy autonomy of their peace projects.

You can download a manual for this system.
