This means that families are more interested in using bioslurry in crops and agricultural improvements </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">than in the use of biogas. The Bolivian government subsidy on liquefied gas seems to be one of the </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">key issues to understand these results. Finally, data also reveals how the thermal behavior of tubular digesters </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">adapted to cold climate that use a passive solar design, is similar to the thermal behavior of valley digesters, </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">and therefore intends to add the same passive heating techniques for warm and tropical climates, to increase </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">slurry temperatures and achieve a higher biogas production.</span></div><div><br></div><div>I hope you enjoy the paper</div><div>keep in touch</div><div>jaime<br><p class="ecxMsoNormal" style=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2A2A2A;background:white;">-----</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt;color:rgb(42, 42, 42);"><br>
