Biogas Subject Matter Experts

From: El-Mashad, Hamed Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 8:16 AM To: Pierce, James Subject: SARE research and Education

Hello Jim, Hope all goes well. I will work on a preproposal for a SARE Research and Education grant. As you know, a few farmers should be involved in the project. Do you know a few farmers who might be interested in biogas technology. The idea of the proposal is to use our pilot plant at LU to optimize the system and then we can install a system on a farm as a demonstration and as education for several other farms. Please let me know Thanks Hamed

Dear Hamed,

We want to power our farm with biogas. We want to power our CEB Press with biogas in converted Power Cubes.

Is your scope also to do biogas burn in engines? We are interested in that as an immediate route to off-grid electricity generation, in addition to cooking.

Do you know any other subject matter experts on biogas systems that include electrical production? I know only one person in the USA who has a biogas electric on the 1 kW scale, but is not willing to share the technology. We are open source.
