- A Chinese Biogas Manual is a comprehensive guide to building plants to produce biogas in rural situations Review by Howard Johns, review in Permaculture magazine
-
A Chinese Biogas Manual is a comprehensive guide to building plants to produce biogas in rural situations. It was written as a field manual for communes in China to develop their own biogas plants, and is based on years of research and practical experience that started in the 1950s. For anyone thinking of exploring biogas production, this book would be an invaluable resource with the tools and techniques needed to calculate the size of the system required, how to maintain it and the yields to expect.
