The Govardhan Farm just south of Mumbai, India. run by the devotees of the ISKCON Radha-Gopinath Mandir in Chowpatty, also runs a similar biogas project on a smaller scale, providing for their cooking and electricity needs for a farm community with around 30 residents.

This is a great option for our ISKCON farm communities to look into, as a free renewable energy source and also as a tool for outreach to our environmentally open minded friends. Check out this Beginner's Guide to Biogas for more details.
