In many countries traditional forms of cooking pollute the environment and emit carcinogenic gases inhaled by the cooks. Now a biogas company, (B)energy, has created a (B)energy system, a simple greenhouse that makes biogas from kitchen waste, human feces, and agricultural residue. They have also made a (B)pack used to transfer the gas and a biogas stove called the (B)flame that runs on biogas. Entrepreneurs in developing countries can make their own gas with the (B)energy system, sell it to consumers with (B)flames, and transfer the gas with the (B)pack. The new system creates a micro economy that is green, self sustaining, and lucrative. A wonderful idea for a long time problem.
