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.

A potential solution could be having a larger central community plant taking the scraps from several households. But again it won't be enough to provide cooking power for all, maybe it could give back some other type of community benefit.

Spitballing here but that slurry could go to community gardens.
