INFO
SUPERGAS WORKS WITH SMALL BIOGAS UNITS.
Superflex has collaborated with Danish and African engineers to construct a simple, portable biogas unit that can produce sufficient gas for the cooking and lighting needs of an African family. The system has been adapted to meet the efficiency and style demands of a modern African consumer. It is intended to match the needs and economic resources that we believe exist in small-scale economies.
The orange biogas plant produces biogas from organic materials, such as human and animal stools. For a modest sum, an African family will be able to buy such a biogas system and achieve self-sufficiency in energy. The plant produces approx. 4 cubic metres of gas per day from the
dung from 2-3 cattle. This is enough for a family of 8-10 members for cooking purposes and to run one gas lamp in the evening.
CAMBODIA
Test carried out in collaboration with UTA University of Tropical Agriculture in Cambodia.
CHEING MAI
Currently we are testing a new version of the biogas system at The Land in Cheing Mai, Thailand. The aim of this test is to collect more documentation on the benefits with the Supergas biogas system.
PRICE
Finally, Supergas has still no final proof of the estimated price of the product.
It seems likely to reach a fairly low production price if the system is mas produced since all materials involved are relatively cheap.
But without final production agreements no guarantee can be given however a copy of the system in Cambodia was made from local materials and the prize was 50 USD.
Sales channels are not established either.
Many organisations and individuals working in the realm of development
aid have shown considerable interest in the new system and can be counted on to
distribute it.
Still, an uncertainty regarding purely commercial sales channels persists.
