    Just watched a Calor add. Did I hear this correctly?!? 'Sustainable gas' wtf

    Dear Asai,
    'Sustainable gas' doesnt exist. This is misleading and contrary to all known facts about a fossil fuel and climate change...

    Substantable, the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future to meet their needs.

    Bio gas is sustainable, just because it's not clean doesn't mean that it's not substainable

    No that's not what substainable means. Substainable means it not a fossil fuel which has limited supply.

    Biogas is not sustainable, particularly bioenergy crops as they require tremendous amounts of resources and energy to create a small quantity of fuel / gas.
    On a small scale consumption perhaps like a domestic household run off a biogas reactor or cow farts but for large scale production they're completely inefficient and I'm considered a "tree hugger" saying this.

    Cows beleaches are where the gasses come from not their farts. The gas is sustainable, you know the brown bin you put out, you can capture gas off that and many other places
