The aim is to reduce waste material and to make the farmers self-sufficient in a sustainable way. Our research will be focused on raising the awareness of biodigesters and investigating the possibilities regarding the residual slurry.

Over the course of the past 2 weeks, we have visited all of the farmers in Free State to get a better overview of the specific possibilities at each farm. We have interviewed the farmers and along with that elaborated about the current design and the so-called anaerobic fermentation process.

The farmers were very happy to see us and asked a lot of intelligent questions. They were hoping we could start the construction as soon as possible. We are now working out the data and conducting research on the new insights that we have obtained.

Sharpsharp!

Yesterday we had an important meeting at the Department of Agriculture of Sasolburg with all the stakeholders of our project, including all of the farmers, a delegation from the UJ and the involved people from Free State.

Prof. Takatso Mofokeng presented a clear introduction to biogas to get everyone excited, as it is a relatively new concept to the Free State people. With success! In the upcoming weeks we are visiting several farmers to conduct research on the possibilities there in terms of biogas. Shahpshahp!
