C.O.W. is a self-sufficient cooking station for local communities. Just as in a cow's stomach, biogas and biofertilizer are produced using a fermenter through the bacterial decomposition of cellulose in a COâ‚‚-neutral way.
An open source cooking station with self-sufficient energy generation
Organic waste is a resource from which cooking gas and bio-fertilizer can be generated through the bacterial decomposition of plant residues and manure. The cooking station utilizes this process, locally providing independent energy for food preparation/production, strengthening social interactions within the community and relating energy use to consumption in a tangible way. The open access blueprint empowers anyone to start their own gas production using low-cost common finished products.
