ENPOST BIOGAS GENERATOR
Biogas is methane gas formed from organic wastes by bacteria under anaerobic conditions, and it can be used for cooking heating, lighting, electricity generation and crop processing to reduce post-harvest losses. ENPOST biogas generation dated back to 1982 when we constructed and used the first biogas generator in Nigeria.
