Biogas electricity?
O H Kabir, Dhaka
About twenty years ago I discussed and asked some electric engineers and scientists as to why natural gas of our kitchen oven is not used for lighting electric bulb and tube light. They laughed at me and said that kitchen gas cannot be used for lighting electric bulb or tube light. When I asked to state reason they could not give me any satisfactory reply. Only a few days back I was surprised and dumb founded watching a BTV programme showing poultry farm lighting (electric bulb and tube light) with the help of poultry biogas. I wonder if we can produce electricity and put on electric bulb and tube light with the help of poultry biogas why can't we put on electric bulb and tube light from kitchen oven natural gas through some technique or mechanism? Would the concerned poultry farm engineers, our learned scientists and electric engineers as well as experts of ministry of energy and mineral resources kindly enlighten us on the matter?
