An all-volunteer educational NPO founded in the US in 2014, works to promote sustainable living through the use of renewable energy sources. Its origins date back to Dr. Thomas H. Culhane’s work in Egypt as early as 2006. Recognizing biogas, at all scales, as the “solar plexus of the Food/Energy/Water Nexus”, Solar CITIE’s mission is to share their biogas education program in ever increasing locations in the U.S. and abroad, teaching people how to convert organic “waste” into valuable clean cooking fuel and nutrient dense fertilizer through the simple process of biodigestion.  The goal is to grow independent “Biogas Education Hubs” in each state in the U.S. and each country they serveIn the US people can learn at Adragone Aeroponics in Pennsylvania or at Rosebud Continuum in Florida. In Brazil at Vale Encantado. In West Africa people can learn our techniques at Royal Renewable Energy Cameroon, and in East Africa, Energy Moto in Tanzania. From anywhere, online at the Biogas Education Hub.  

SC has implemented projects in the US, as well as Belize, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Egypt, Haiti, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kenya, Palestine, Peru, Portugal, Spain Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and more.  In many regions SC offers home-scale biodigestion as an alternative to wood fire cooking that causes disease and deforestation. Current urgent project requests include Nepal and Ukraine. 

Partnering with Pennsylvania Alliance for STEM Education, National Geographic, Energy Vision, Public-Private Alliance Foundation, Solar Cookers International, and the Université Notre Dame d'Haiti, SC adds biogas education to K-12 schools and universities that complement their programs and community outreach efforts.     

SC shines light on individuals/companies developing and marketing residential and community scale systems. Two companies that have grown out of SC’s global group include HomeBiogas (Israel) and Flexi Biogas (Kenya).  

Finally, we partner in research, particularly cold weather solutions.
