Greetings Paul 

I have been receiving all the digester list emails  - it is always good
reading.

I have a question - and not sure how to post it !!

How do you convert M3 of biogas produced to CO2 equivalents or Carbon
Credits - is it 1000 m3 = 1 tonne of CO2 equivalents ?? of 100 m3 of biogas
to 1 tonne of CO2 equivalents  and we don't have to be to precise, just
general  !! 

 

This is why:

I have a project in PNG 

Were I have installed one of my Digesters into a domestic house ( which I
personal financed with another PNG group/company) 

This system has been going for 3 months or so - and is constantly producing
10 m3 per month of burnable gas ( which is used for hoses hold
cooking/lighting ) these house have electrical stoves and this electrical
usage ( produced via mineral diesel electrical energy production) is been
replaced by biogas. Which is about 330 or sol lts of gas per day and they
use around 200lts per day for all there cooking lighting requirements. So it
is working well !!! it real cool - much better than my New Zealand
Digesters. Bloody New Zealand weather !!!!!

I have a JV company getting developed there and the JV company will be
building these system on mass into PNG - but I would like to get some carbon
financing and carbon credits for the energy that we have off set - in some
regions we will be offsetting electrical, LPG and wood burning for energy
production.  I am a good micro digester technologist but not a good Carbon
analysts  - who should we be talking to for the carbon side of things and
how much would it cost to get certification of the process to get carbon
credits, and who do we apply to get some carbon financing to assist in the
rollout of these systems. The more money the more system will get built.

 

Sorry for so many questions so close to Christmas
