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.

    Hey man, thanks for posting this. I was just wondering: how many people do you have in your family/household?

      It’s a quote from the article, not “my” family.

      I think any such numbers are really subjective and depend on your cooking style. If you want to cook lentils for hours each day then the gas is probably insufficient.

        My mistake, sorry!

        I was more thinking of the 2kg of food waste per day he’s apparently generating, because that… seems like a lot.
