INTRODUCTION
In 1996-97 Supergas invented a new biogas system. Due to the innovation of a pressure equalisation system and
a provocative new construction method and design, biogas technology can finally be disseminated at the gigantic markets
in the rural and suburban areas around Equator.
Many international organisations concerned with environmental and social problems have for many years hoped to find
a technologically sustainable solution to the ecological problems encountered in developing countries. Deforestation, e
rosion and increasing workloads, as the lack of firewood sets it marks on everyday life, have all been adding to the pressure
for a solution to the problems in the energy sector. By now there is a growing realisation that these problems can best be
encountered by way of private ownership, though the problems encountered are indeed communal. Supergas has
accomplished to develop a biogas digester that can be purchased by individual families. A biogas digester is a
sound and ecologically sustainable solution to present problems in energy supply, and when it can be purchased by individuals,
they themselves are in control of the means on which they rely for their basic needs.When being a sound investment for
the people who need it, the digester is, of course, also an interesting object for investors. Factors such as deforestation
put a pressure on local households, and this pressure relaeses a consumer demand for technical solutions.
The Supergas biogas digester is now in a phase of commercialisation, and we are looking for partners
to undertake this venture. We have established a wide contact net, including international aid organisations, environment
organisations, research stations and others with an interest in renewable energy etc. We are now looking forward to establish
contacts with future manufactures and partners who want join us when exploring the full range of possibilities also when applying
the revolutionary new pressure equalisation system to other contexts.
A pilot project raised in central Tanzania in 1997 has delivered the most promising prospects for future interventions.
The design and aesthetic value of the plant has been welcomed, and the
biogas system is therefore considered a prestige object desired by the decision makers in the domestic households in the area.
Since then the system has been testet in Cambodia and Thailand.
