[Gaviotas] NY Times Las Gaviotas Journal - An Isolated VillageFinds the Energy to Keep Going

[Alvaro Gutierrez]

Lamar, we are in a project in Nairobi, Kenya that uses garbage and sewage 
water to produce biomass that powers a 30MW generator and as our interest is 
to protect the environment too, I'm really interested in read the 
information mentioned in the attached e-mail.

Can you give me a link where we can read the documentation mentioned?

Best regards
