Biogas research attracts attention

The biogas production research conducted at the SAENSE Platform (Biotechnology Department, University of the Free State) has caught a lot of attention. The research has been widely featured on various media platforms including SABC 2’s Living Land TV programme. The Living Land crew visited our labs early this year, with the aim to showcase the innovation and young talent in the labs.

Reitumetse Molaoa, who is currently doing a master's degree on this project, was profiled on the programme to show other young people (along with the rest of South Africa) the opportunities that lie within the exploration of renewable energy sources.

Biogas production is a growing technology that uses the principle of anaerobic digestion to produce energy. It is a great way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions like methane and carbon dioxide, and to reduce the reliance on fossil fuel-derived energy. Follow this link to see the show YouTube
