 <u>Description of the Technology</u>: At the moment [[Types of Biogas Digesters and Plants#Low-Cost Polyethylen Tube Digester|Low-Cost Polyethylene Tube Digesters]] in Bolivia have costs between 93, - € and 148, - €. To operate a digester, the producer has to charge it day to day with 20 kg of cow dung (or other animal dung), mixed with 60 liters of water. Once the digester starts its operation (between 30 to 60 days), it produces around 4 - 5 hours of biogas daily, for cooking or other applications like use of gas lamps. Furthermore the digester provides daily 80 liters of ecologic fertilizer, which helps to increase the production of agriculture. The digester system has a pressure between 15 cm - 20 cm of water column.
