Uganda Africa construction video on how to make your own backyard biogas plant. Daily gas production capacity of the above constructed digester is 2.6 cubic meters (time stamp 3:23). That is equivalent to 2600 liters or 16.4 barrels of oil or 687 US liquid gallons. For comparison an empty 20 lb barbecue propane tank will hold about 4.7 gallons of propane. Biogas can be used to heat your home, cook your food and power gas electric generators. In the US and Canada you can use your existing prefab concrete or plastic septic tanks and produce your own biogas to fuel your home. Just bury a sealed plastic drum, barrel or tank next to the septic tank and run a plastic tube from the top of your septic tank to the buried sealed plastic drum, barrel or tank. Then add a propane gas valve and fitting, like the ones from a barbecue, to the top of the sealed buried drum, barrel or tank and you have your very own natural gas supply.
