Evaluating Biogas as an Option to Heat an Urban Greenhouse
公开In Worcester, MA, a group of urban farmers in a community called “The Shop” built a greenhouse to grow fresh produce year round. However, the greenhouse becomes too cold during winter months to sustain plant growth. Having experience with composting, The Shop is interested in pursuing biogas– methane produced from anaerobic digestion of organic waste– as a means to heat the greenhouse. This project uses data from case studies and other sources to calculate the amount of energy needed to heat the greenhouse and the expected energy yield from different obtainable substrates. Results verify that biogas is a viable way to heat the greenhouse at The Shop.
