Going Off Grid By Creating Biogas From Your Loo [Toilet]

First Time We Heard About This There Was 30mins Of Hmmmmmm

When you think of it, we waste a lot of things in our modern day systems due to inefficient designs of water, waste and energy.

One of the biggest challenges ahead of us due to climate change is water security, we're getting hotter, we have a larger population in regional and remote communities due to the cost of land and houses being cheaper than in our capital cities, slightly less now but still better, but infrastructure can't keep up.

Albanese announced we are building 1.2million houses in Australia to help with the housing crisis which has been contributed to by the increase of single house holds due to a high divorce and seperation rate due to COVID.  We're also having the 4th wave of feminism where women would rather be on their own than settle.

But he stated we need to wait for the infrastructure to be built to support that development but he's using old school thinking for new world solutions and the math just doesn't add up. 

So.  We have bigger lots of land in general in remote areas and the HomeBiogas system is perfect for our climate so it's a perfect fit to trial as an energy source for going off grid with our Passive Houses.

There is this big drive for innovation but the reality is a lot of people have been working on getting away from the linear system for decades, since the 70's in fact and that means simple but effective designs have been used and working through those times.  But biogas has been used for over 8 centuries so it's not a new innovation it just needs simple to use processes and there are exciting options here and coming.

In fact there is only one in the domestic market, more in the commercial market though..

Which means there is a business opportunity for plumbing companies to use their R&D tax incentives to develop a domestic solution.  There is a lot of commercial Biogas but the domestic market is severely lacking in this innovation.

Short History Of Biogas - It's Old School But Works

This anaerobic process of decomposition (or fermentation) of organic matter happens all around us in nature and has been happening for a very long time. The bacteria that break down organic material into biogas are some of the oldest multi-celled organisms on the planet. Human use of biogas, of course, doesn’t go that far back. Anecdotal evidence traces the first uses of biogas to the Assyrians and the Persians in the 10th and 16th centuries. More recently, the 20th century has brought about a renaissance of both industrial and small-scale biogas systems.
