Re:fuse

Re:fuse is an Anaerobic Digestion unit that reclaims the otherwise lost gas from decomposing  biological debris. The reclaimed gas is then used for cooking. The fully-enclosed unit creates a closed loop, in which decomposition creates gasses which are internally cleaned and filtered until the outcome is a methane fuel and a usable fertilizer for farming. This fuel is suitable for cooking or heating as needed in rural environments. In most developing countries, the common practice is to cut small trees and shrubs into fire wood for cooking. This not only causes deforestation, but is also contributes to poor air quality in most cities and slums.

The Re:fuse closes a very simple green loop, by empowering the user with the ability to produce their own cooking gas and fertilizer for farming from their own bio-waste. Usually, in the cooking process, the food waste is disposed  of into the trash. Now, the bio-waste can be put to work as fertilizer by composting down, protecting the air and forest from dirty burning fuels, and  also giving clean methane gas forcooking.
