A Living Lab about Urban Biodigestion
As part of the MADE master's we started up a project about urban biodigestion in Amsterdam, aiming to discover their potential in the city. Check out this page to learn more about our project and small-scale biodigesters!
We don't know what happens to our own waste.
​
We are unable to recover the nutrients in our organic waste​
Most of our organic waste is incinerated ​
How can a small-scale biodigester help?
01
Small-scale biodigesters can make us change the way we perceive waste.
02
Biodigesters that function will prevent the burning of organic waste.
03
A biodigester generates biogas. This gas can support us while transitioning to a sustainable energy system.
Why do projects in Amsterdam fail?
Especially difficult for projects involving multiple stakeholders
Projects keep reinventig the wheel
Research Question: How can we address the challenges associated with setting up a small-scale biodigester in an urban setting?
"Our living lab project is valuable for a multi-stakeholder setting."
N. Wolff
"A biodigester in such a setting can only function when everyone benefits."
M. Bolle
"It is my hope that we can discover the true potential of this niche innovation."
S. Bruijsten
"What if your banana peel can contribute to heating your building in the future..."
