Biogas Project by Skidmore College student Peter McInerney
Peter McInerney created this biogas/anaerobic digestion project during a study abroad trip to Uzi Island in Zanzibar with the School for International Training, a program he learned about through Skidmore College. He was able to obtain funding through the Responsible Citizenship Task Force on campus during the 2010-11 Academic Year in order to fund the materials and build the project. This creates methane gas to be used for cooking in a home there by way of anaerobic digestion from food waste created by the residents.
