Turning Tofu Waste Into Cooking Gas Helps Clean Rivers In Indonesia | World Wide Waste

The runoff from tofu factories pollutes rivers and kills fish. Over the last 40 years, Indonesia has built almost 50,000 biogas plants to convert the wastewater. We visited Sumedang to see how communities are producing cooking fuel from the waste of this popular food.
The tofu factories visited: Haji Oji and ITA

I'm not sure how the cooking gas distribution works in indonesia but if erratic timings is an issue in households with respect to biogas from tofu, gas cylinders could be a good alternative instead of pipelines... In india, in a number of households gas cylinders are still being used. It might take up a little more time and energy but save the family from the erratic cooking hrs problem and make more people adapt it.

[@laurastabell2489]

@@scarletdice Wind mill pumps can be used to compress air or other gases as well. Its a great way to store energy without batteries. It can "pump up the volume" of energy in the bio gas system. Any motor that spins can use the pneumatic energy. You can run pnumatic lines to plug into like electrical lines/ plugs in homes. The pneumatic energy can be stored as compressed gas and the use of gas escaping can turn a pump to compress air to run houshold appliances like blenders or refrigerator compressors to cool foods. You can use pneumatic energy to run cars, or cars to create pneumatic energy to power homes. Coupled with gas motors, you can create excess energy to start, move faster or climb hills.

[@laurastabell2489]

Water mill pumps can be used to compress air also if water is more available in an area. If you can turn an old washing machine motor, it can create electricity directly. Its as easy to turn a pump to compress air. Either wind or water can compress air very easily. You can buy small pumps that run off drills, "drill pumps" that may work. In America, its called "Yankee ingenuity", the drive to create a better mouse trap! There is an American Biogas Council now, check out the website. Here in America the projects tend to be very large. Back yard methane production is very good, maybe better than large scale production. Your not moving the materials from the site of use. Compost, manures including human waste and yard/ farm waste can all create methane. Hydrogen sulphide gas that accompanies methane can potentially create hydrogen gas. Four girls in Africa discovered that urine releases hydrogen using electrolysis and aluminum better than you can release hydrogen gas from water. The chemical bonds are weaker in urea. The same could be true in hydrogen sulphide. Now, hydrogen sulphide is a waste product of methane production. Its what makes methane stink. If it is removed from the methane and the water and utilized, the water would be useful for other purposes. Maybe it can be used for watering plants in a greenhouse or container growing system. The plants would further clean the water of nutrients so it can be returned to the environment.

Does methane gas contribute to greenhouse gasses?

[@laurastabell2489]

Yes, its 10 to 20 times worse as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere but lasts a shorter time in the atmosphere. Its produced in wetlands, the scent of hydrogen sulphide gas can be a way to detect it. If your in an area where it freezes, you can see the bubbles trapped in and under the ice. Videos of people from the University of Alaska cracking ice with an iron bar and quickly lighting the gas! Melting permafrost is releasing tons of methane, previously trapped into the atmosphere on top of fracking and gas pipe leaks. Bio gas is a great way to remove methane producing nutrients from the water ways. There should be carbon credits for creating methane digesters? But maybe not because its not carbon dioxide! Elon Munsk is offering a prize for carbon capture right now too! Its definetly a big piece of the picture right now due to funding.
