[Digestion] Steam Boiler operating on Biogas

[Vianney tumwesige]

Dear All,

I held a meeting with Engineers without Borders (EWB) regarding 
developing a biogas project for a school with over 500 students. The 
school has got chickens, pigs, cows, goats and rabbits. Please, do you 
have information regarding a steam boiler operating on biogas? What 
would be the pros and cons? If you have information regarding this 
subject, I will be glad to share it with EWB team.

Best regards
