Makes good use of organic wastes. You can obtain fuel from sewage
sludge and animal slurries first, and prevent runoff and methane
emissions at the same time – and you still get fertiliser at the end of
the process.
Is a clean, easily controlled source of renewable energy.
Uses up methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
Reduces pathogen (disease agent) levels in the waste.
Residue provides valuable organic fertilizer.
Simple to build and operate.
Low maintenance requirements.
Can be efficiently used to run cooking, heating, gas lighting, absorption refrigerators and gas powered engines.
No smell (unless there’s a leak, which you’d want to know about and fix immediately anyway!).
