“That book [The Complete Biogas Handbook] was the most helpful piece of literature I could find back in 2008 when I first started building digesters.... [for] my thesis research... I highly recommend!”

“Even after decades, David House's ‘The Complete Biogas Handbook’ is still the best introduction to digestion systems in English.”

The Jean-Pain method “...seemed pretty straight forward-— yard waste steeped in water for 2 weeks, add heat from a compost pile, would yield CH₄. Clearly the assumptions that I gleaned were wrong.… Your book seems to be the most comprehensive [source of information] while being written for the layman.”
