Eco Factor: Anaerobic digester produces renewable energy from organic materials.
SEaB Energy has announced a new anaerobic digester that is built inside a repurposed shipping container and can produce renewable energy from any organic material. Dubbed the MuckBuster, the device is a self-contained digester that uses animal waste, grass clippings or stuff bound for the septic tank to generate renewable energy.
The digester uses bacteria to break down the organic materials and produce methane, a gas which can later be burned to produce electricity. The company claims that the MuckBuster can generate 2KWh of power from 100 gallons of organic waste, which is about half of what a typical home consumes.
