Gassed

Gassed an improved biogas system has recently been developed by a Haryana-based non-governmental organisation. Compared with existing systems that produce inflammable methane by fermenting biological waste, this new system from the Social Centre for Rural Initiative and Advancement ( scria ) in Khori village, Haryana, is less expensive and can be constructed easily by unskilled workers. The Improved Biogas System ( ibs ) produces energy from available biomass such as mustard husk, weeds, cattle-dung for cooking. If used wisely, the gas can also be used to generate electricity
