Introduction

All around the world, electricity isn’t easy to come by. People in small towns and villages rely on a form of cooking gas call biogas. This biogas can be burned and is usually found in the form of methane. People in rural areas collect methane gas from their cattle and the village heads collect it and put it into a large public methane tank. Methane is very useful and burns easily, and does not pollute the air, and is very clean. Our project is the figure out which type of feedstock works the best. Feedstock is the material that is combusted in the generator. We will have three different feedstocks; manure, manure with vegetable peelings, and manure with mashed bananas. We will then test them in three different temperatures, to determine which condition and which fuel/feedstock would be the best to create the most flammable gas in the most efficient way.
