“
Running a Biogas Programme
”, “Small-scale, Rural Biogas Programmes” uses the
resources on which the earlier book was based
.
David Fulford was part of a team in 1992 that made a mid-term evaluation of the
UNDP funded project
run under the management of ADB/N (Agricultural Development Bank of Nepal). A report was written,
but it is only in printed format.
A summary draft version is available
.
David Fulford was also part of a team in 2012 that made an evaluation of the
SNV (Netherlands
Development Organisation) Asia Biogas Programme
that included the Nepal work, as well as the SNV
work in Vietnam, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Laos (LPDR).
A report of this evaluation is available.
The evaluation work allowed access to many of SNV’s own reports. More
recent reports on SNV’s work
can be found
on their web site
.
Much of this work has been taken over by
HIVOS
.
Further information was found from
SANDEC (Department of Water and Sanitation in Developing
Countries)
part of
EAWAG (Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology)
.
They have
several reports on
food waste systems
.
These include
one on a system built by Biotech Ltd in India
and
also
smaller-scale systems build by ARTI in Africa
.
David Fulford was also a sub-contracted international assessor for
Ashden
which
is part of the
Sainsbury Foundation
and gives awards for the best renewable energy projects in the world. This
allowed him to visit projects in many parts of the world. Awards have been made to several projects
doing
biogas
extension in several countries
and
videos have been made about them.
One of these visits
was to an NGO (non-governmental organisation) in India called
SKG Sangha
. A UK based charitable
company was set up in collaboration,
called Foundation SKG Sangha
.
The
International Energy Authority (IEA)
has a range of Tasks related to various subject areas.
IEA
Task 37
relates to Biogas
and offers a wide range of
reports and presentations
from the group as a
whole, as well as
publications and workshop reports from groups
in the member countries.
Another source of information was preparation for teaching the MSc course on Renewable Energy at
Reading University. This includes the
first order rate theory
which can be used
to predict the amount of
biogas from a plant.
Some of the
resources
on which the books are based are available as PDF files:
