Intended for beginners who are new to the subject of anaerobic digestion and biogas production. This course is suitable for:

– college students who wish to understand the background to anaerobic digestion and biogas production
– those seeking to run their own home or community digester, and
– professionals such as farmers, and businessmen who are considering investing in their own anaerobic digestion (biogas) plant.

This is a course, created especially for the AD Training Club, and is based upon a compilation of our existing YouTube videos on the subject.

On completing this training course you will be:

– able to explain the basic concepts of the anaerobic digestion process and biogas production
– aware of the benefits of the anaerobic digestion process and biogas production, and of some of the disadvantages
– ready to move on to our next course, which goes into more detail.

You will find some repetition of subjects in this training. That’s because the videos were made for general use originally, but if enough people show an interest in these free courses we will create new videos specifically for future courses.
