Hello Edward,
There is an SNV biogas project in Indonesia. The
Senior Biogas Advisor is: Sundar Bajgain, Tel:
+62-21-7892489/78837577 HP: +62-(0) 82112373615
e-mail: <sbajgain at snvworld.org>
http://www.snvworld.org/indonesia. He has built
up good experience in Nepal and Bangladesh on
biogas programmes.
1. There are arguments on how worse methane is for
the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, depending on
assumptions on how long it lasts in the
atmosphere. Global warming is the result of
radiation at different frequencies being absorbed
by the different gases, preventing heat being lost
from the earth. Methane absorbs more radiation
from the infra-red spectrum than carbon dioxide.
2. There are two ways in which biogas can be used
in engines: a dual-fuel engine uses diesel or
biodiesel to provide ignition (about 20% or less).
Raw biogas can be used in these engines, mixed
with the air intake. A spark ignition engine can
also be used with biogas, but these are more
susceptible to corrosion from hydrogen sulphide,
so this should be cleaned from the gas.
3. Oil cake is a good feed for a biogas plant, but
should be mixed with other materials. A colleague
in India has built a plant for a community that
uses cattle dung and oil cake as the main
feeds and works well.
