HomeBiogas is useful and practical for individual users, but it is also an eco-product that has a meaningful impact. Here are 3 ways that HomeBiogas helps solve global  issues:

A whopping 1/3 of the world’s food is wasted each year—that’s 1.3 billion tons! This wastage is a huge global issue, as millions of people are struggling with food insecurity, and a lot of precious natural resources are wasted on food that does not get used! 

HomeBiogas lets you make use of all the food you have, so that you don't contribute to the global food crisis, and you won't throw away something you spent hard earned money on! 

Nearly 3 billion people around the world burn wood, charcoal, animal dung, crop residue or coal on open fires for daily cooking. In many countries, the reliance on wood fuel for cooking (in the form of wood or wood charcoal) has led to a decline in the quality of forests. Degraded lands lead to losses in biodiversity, erosion control, and storm flow regulation (flood protection). Forest degradation contributes to climate change and also leads to desertification.

Using the biogas generated from HomeBiogas as a fuel source gives underserved individuals a free source of energy and eliminates the need for firewood.

Cooking on biomass, which is typically done using open fires, is a reality for more than 3 billion people worldwide. Not only are charcoal and wood expensive, cooking on them is also unhealthy. Cooking on charcoal and wood creates a lot of smoke and emits noxious gases, which people breathe into their lungs. When inhaled 3 times a day, every day, the cooking causes serious and lethal health issues.

Cooking with the biogas produced by HomeBiogas can reduce deaths and respiratory diseases attributed to indoor air pollution. By using HomeBiogas, underserved families will no longer be subjected to toxic indoor air pollution.
