There are exciting new developments related to the current biogas research at the University of British Columbia Energy Farm. Recently, Christoffer Hansen delivered a report on the feasibility of producing year-round biogas at the UBC energy farm. After reviewing the report, both Julian Darley (Founder and Director of the Post Carbon Institute) and Mark Bomford (UBC Farm Manager) have agreed to move the research into the next stage. Two modular batch digesters will be built and housed in a glass greenhouse in order to demonstrate and troubleshoot biogas generation during the winter. The biogas will be derived from a mixture of clover, dry leaves, and a small amount of lama dung. To give researchers a virtual window into the digestion process, computerized sensors will be placed inside each generator to log temperatures and changes in Ph.
