<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear All, <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>

G'day All,<br>

I have wondered for a long time if the micro-flora of a koala gut
would also give benefits to anaerobic digestion - their diet is
eucalyptus leaves which are very leathery and contain (you guessed
it!) eucalyptus oil, which I think has antibacterial properties.<br>
<br>
Happy digesting,<br>

Subject: microflora from elephant hind gut<br>

<div dir="ltr">Respected Dr. Karve,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This has a reference to the talk that you had delivered
- energy from agri- waste or biodegradable material from
kitchen waste etc /our tele conversation this after noon.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Elephant, a non ruminant, feeds mostly on coarse
vegetable matter including even bark. I am given to
understand that it is the microflora in the large hind gut
that enables derivation of energy through [methanation
?]processing that takes place there. (There is
considerable rumbling in stomach and that it also helps
animals to know whereabouts of each other). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Elephant hind gut microflora could possibly be a key
for efficient biogas making; a micro-biological study of
elephant droppings from wild or even zoo are suggested. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If idea need be pursued will be willing to facilitate
collection of material. <br clear="all">
