Biogas as an energy source at Los Planes de Renderos, El Salvador.

Background and Description

In 2011, i was part of a project that supposed to use biogas as a fuel to be used on pupusas preparation (Salvadorian typical food) in Los Planes de Renderos that have an economy based on preparation of this meal and also, have a high consumption of methane gas to power on the grills.

Check the document if you need more reference about energy-mass balance computation and animal wastes heating power in the next link.

The storage of methane gas are out of date. I think that if we develop a cheaper and safe storage method than the convencional (pressurized cylinders), could impact to get lower cost or instead, provide directly from the biodigestor production by pipelines to our final user.
