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.

That sounds great! I hadn't even considered capturing human waste. Do you rely on that entirely? or are you hooked into the mains?

We have an induction based stove that is used 50% of the time since we have solar.
