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.

Love the idea but the investment seems rather high. How long does it take to break even from a financial point of view?

Also, not really an eye-catcher...

You can DIY a much cheaper version. Of course that will look even worse 😅
