Bubbling Biogas

Abstract

The Coming Together radio series is designed for broadcast by local and community radio stations or it may be heard and downloaded from the web. It has been produced by OLSET and COL for use anywhere that people want to take action to help fight poverty and improve their lives, and in particular sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. // The “Bubbling Biogas” programme is about a low-cost and sustainable technology now in use in many countries around the world. With help from Namiz Musafer of the Intermediate Technology Development Group in Sri Lanka, we find out how urine and dung can be utilised on a to create energy for cooking and much more. As we walk around a special training farm in Rwanda we learn what benefits biogas might bring - just listen to it bubbling! // PRODUCTION TEAM DETAILS Co-ordinator for OLSET : Farhana Chand ; Project manager at COL : Paul West and Krishna Alluri ; Project consultants : Kennedy Onyango, Saminu Ibrahim, James Onyango and Frances Cox (writer/producer) ; South Africa field recordings : Pule Phalatse ; Other recordings: Our thanks to Kazimierz Janowski, Ruth Evans, Warrill Grindrod and Namiz Musafer ; Presentation : Vineeta Dwevidi and Rupa Jha ; Music: " Coming Together" theme music composed and recorded by Lee Sparey at The Grooveyard
