Methane
I know that I’ve focused a lot on biodisel in this blog — that’s probably because it’s my entry point into the world of renewables. Biodiesel is a relatively inexpensive way to start. I’d love to put my Oregon home on solar, but A) the house is a rental, so if I moved, the installation process would have to happen all over again with potential added cost in necessary changes. It would also require landlord approval, and while my landlord is a swell guy, it would be just another worry for him to take on. And B) who am I kidding, I most definitely can’t afford any of that yet anyway. So, while I know a little about solar, I have been encouraged to investigate the wondeful world of methane…it is a burgeoning renewable option, and I found this great page to explain the basics: The Anaerobic Digestion Community. They are UK based, but the site is comprehensive and clear enough for me to understand. The EnergyRush team is looking into more and more methane stories, and I’d like to get on the bandwagon and help provide new info here through links to good sites and stories…And hopefully I’ll get my hands in some cowpie eventually and tape a clip on how it’s done.
