Australians love cooking with gas, but what if you could make your own supply, using leftover food waste? It may be time for more households to embrace home biogas – and stop paying gas bills.

In practical terms, I put in about 2kg of food waste each day and so far I have had enough gas to cook with, sometimes twice a day. If I ever needed more gas, I could put in more organic matter. I will continue to monitor the system as part of my research and will publish updates in due course. If interested, watch this space.

    Yeah, seems like they take up quite a lot of space, too. Only really an option if you live in the countryside or have a huge garden.

    EDIT: Plus, the amount of food waste required seems quite high. Sounds like it would be most practical if you had some chickens or goats, or a really big family, to generate that amount of compost.
