The project is testing a novel biodigester technology in humanitarian settings, developed by WASE, a Brunel University London (BUL) spinout. The system treats human waste (and other organic matter) producing biogas with a higher methane concentration compared to traditional AD systems. Other byproducts are water and sludge rich in nutrients that can be used to irrigate wood lots. WASE's EMR solution outperforms traditional biodigesters on several fronts, reducing processing time and plant size while generating more energy. The project is structured in three subsequent feasibility trials, with this being the second stage. The first phase (ongoing with World Food Programme (WFP) funds) is assessing the technical performance of a prototype system in the controlled environment of UNHRD, a Humanitarian Procurement Centre managed by WFP, in Brindisi, IT. In this project, the system will be tested in Dadaab, Kenya, in a WFP camp and will look at construction solutions that use local materials and recognise the influence of contextual factors on performance and usability. The third and final phase before commercialisation (beyond the scope of this project), will test the system with beneficiaries in a WFP school and/or camp to refine viable business models.

该项目正在人道主义环境中测试一种新的生物消化器技术，该技术由伦敦布鲁内尔大学（BUL）的分支机构WASE开发。与传统的AD系统相比，该系统处理人类废物（和其他有机物质）产生甲烷浓度更高的沼气。其他副产品是富含营养的水和污泥，可以用来灌溉林地。WASE的EMR解决方案在几个方面都优于传统的生物沼气池，减少了处理时间和工厂规模，同时产生了更多的能量。该项目分为三个后续可行性试验，这是第二阶段。第一阶段（用世界粮食计划署（粮食计划署）的资金进行）正在评价一个原型系统在联合国开发计划署（粮食计划署管理的人道主义采购中心）设在布林迪西的受控环境中的技术性能。在这个项目中，该系统将在肯尼亚达达阿布的一个世界粮食计划署营地进行测试，并将研究使用当地材料的建筑解决方案，并认识到环境因素对性能和可用性的影响。商业化之前的第三阶段也是最后阶段（超出了本项目的范围），将在世界粮食计划署学校和/或营地的受益者中测试该系统，以完善可行的商业模式。
