Success Story
Power from Animal Waste
Using biogas from animal manure to create clean power
The Situation
A farm in Mexico was polluting the local river with raw manure creating public health and environmental hazards. The farmer was fined by the government at the level of $80,000. The government gave the option to use the proceeds for a solution that will eliminate the problem.
The Solution
Sistema is a leading manufacturer of bio digesters. The bio digesters convert the animal manure into biogas and fertilizers. BioGen fed by the biogas produce clean power.
The Result
Win-win-win. Integration of the Qnergy and Sistema units. The farm ceased polluting the river. The manure is reused into fertilizers and 5kW of clean power is used by the farm. Note that financing options will make the technology accessible to a wider range of farms.
