Episode 47 - Biogas with Peter Harris

Kyla and Kristen are joined by Peter Harris, who explains how biowaste can be turned into energy through a process called anaerobic digestion.

Peter Harris is a post-doctoral research fellow for the Centre for Agricultural Engineering. He works on the energy and bio resource recovery team.

When Kristen asked him about using anaerobic digestion in the household, he pointed us to a paper he wrote called Biogas in the Suburbs. He pointed out that the best way to utilize this technology isn’t to use it at home, but to push cities to incorporate it into their waste management systems.

Kyla hosted this episode and prepared nothing, so the notes here are short. Check out the links for more information!
