Dear friends,

I am new to the list, and not sure as yet regarding the courtesies specific hereto. Please excuse me, therefore, if I step on or over a line somewhere. (Let me know if so.)


I am David House, author of The Complete Biogas Handbook (link below). Biogas, a burnable gas generated biologically from materials that can be composted, is among the least expensive alternative energies available, and many studies show that it is far better than ethanol or biodiesel at producing usable energy from a given unit of land. (Sorry for the long link, but see http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2010/03/why-is-biogas-renewable-energys-cinderella for solid evidence that the assertion is true.)

I'm posting because I am interested in setting up Beginner's Biogas workshops in different areas, to show people how to make and use biogas. (These two-day workshops are described at http://completebiogas.com/workshops.html.) The workshops would of course be responsive to the local situation, but ordinarily everyone who attends will get a copy of the Handbook, a CD with a lot of great information on it, and a ~200 gal (0.75 cu m) biogas digester kit. The kit will become a full-fledged digester if it is put in a greenhouse (for example) to keep it warm; and where it is kept warm and well-fed, it offers the possibility of generating enough biogas that all of one's cooking fuel can be provided every day.

At present, in setting up workshops in new areas, I prefer to work with locals who have at least modest experience with organizing events, but more importantly who have or know those who have local connections that can be used to inform folks about the workshops. I'm open to discussion about sharing revenue or offering a workshop for an honorarium.


Are you interested in working together with me to set up a workshop near you?
