[Stoves] The PROTOS Plant Oil Cooker

Those are very useful reference numbers. Thanks.

Typical yield= 1 tonne/ha
Biogas yield = 1 kg meal - > 1 kg biogas containing 250 g methane

Incidentally, the story we posted about your compact biogas plant on the
biomass cooking stoves website is very popular. Since June 20 2006 it has
been viewed by 15-20 different computers every day from 115 countries.

Dear Tom,
one kg meal of Jatropha seed (or of any other oilseed) will give you one kg
biogas, of which 250 g would be methane.
