In parts of India, today biogas now provides a more reliable source of power
than the national grid. Long promoted as the solution to the energy crisis
of poor rural communities who had exhausted their available resources of
biomass - like fuel-wood - biogas is now gaining ground in urban areas too.
Michele Mailliet’s film shows that more prosperous Indian city residents are
also moving over to biogas - powering generators, cooking stoves and even
factories with the gas generated from cow dung and organic waste from street
markets. New modern biogas digesters are becoming an efficient
supplementary power supply, helping to lessen dependence on expensive fossil
fuels. And with India’s abundant supply of labour, biogas is finally
proving a viable energy source.
