• The efficiency of the system depends on the size and insulation capability of the digester, as well as the quantity of methane produced from the “feedstock,” which can be anything from carrot leaves and onion peels to residue from gardening.

• A community-run digester was set up to create heat using food and agricultural waste from the community.
