Cooler 
country
Temperature below optimum slow the 
respiration rate of bacteria resulting in 
slower biogas production
Bury the biogas generator or build the biogas generator 
with thick walls to insulate the generator and keep the 
inside warmer than the external temperature
Hotter 
country
Temperature above optimum begin to 
denature bacterial enzymes, resulting in 
slower biogas production
Bury the biogas generator in the ground. The ground 
helps to insulate the biogas generator to keep it cool 
during the day and warm at night.
If a bigger, more sophisticated biogas generator is used, biogas can also be produced on a large scale.
Biogas is naturally produced in landfill sites as bacteria 
anaerobically break down our rubbish, but normally the 
methane escapes into the atmosphere where it contributes to 
global warming. If a pipe network with holes in it can be built 
into the land fill site — and the methane is prevented from 
escaping into the atmosphere by covering the site — then 
the methane can be collected via the pipe network.

The methane can then be used as a fuel to generable 
electricity or heat buildings, eg. care homes, hospitals 
and schools. This is an example of biogas generation on a 
commercial scale.
