[Digestion] New book on biogas - Small-scale, Rural Biogas Programmes

[David]

Biogas listers, Hello,

Things have been very quiet on the discussion group recently. I will 
take the opportunity to publicise my new book "Small-scale, Rural Biogas 
Programmes" published by Practical Action Publishers 
(http://developmentbookshop.com/smallscale-rural-biogas-programmes) and 
available in January. Practical Action have been very busy encouraging 
other outlets to sell it, as it will also be available on Amazon, 
Booktopia, Readings, Waterstones etc. Chapters are also to be available 
on-line, using the DOI codes listed in the book.

The title is slightly misleading, as it is the biogas systems that are 
small-scale, not the programmes. The book looks at the very successful 
domestic biogas programmes in places such as China (over 40 million 
units), India (over 4 million units), Nepal (over 1/4 million units, but 
more biogas units per head of population than anywhere else), and other 
parts of Asia (more than 1/4 million units). The book looks at what 
makes biogas extension programmes effective, also considering some of 
the weaknesses that some of these programmes have experienced in the 
past. It also details the biogas plant designs that have been installed 
in the largest numbers, as well as associated biogas equipment. The book 
has large numbers of references to publications on biogas, in the past 
as well as the present, both academic and popular.

Best wishes,
Dr David Fulford
