Alternative Energy - Biogas plant on the farm at the Mona rehabilitation institute

"Alternative energy: A biogas plant situated on the farm at the Mona Rehabilitation Institute. The plant, recently completed and put into the operation, was constructed by the Scientific Research Council, funded by the European Economic Commission and the Ministry of Mining and Energy. Dung from farm-animals, rabbits, goats and chickens is used to produce biogas for domestic purposes at the Institution. This is another energy saving device being introduced by the Ministry, islandwide, to reduce the dependence in imported oil. Ten such plants are being constructed islandwide. Nine of these are partially funded by the Latin American Energy Organisation [OLADE]."
