Planning Egyptian villages in the new reclaimed areas with regard to accommodation of biogas technology

Abstract Biogas technology (BGT) can be one of the appropriate technologies in the context of the development of desert areas. A village model is proposed for application of BGT in the new desert community areas. The model involves a novel architectural design and house planning to optimize the role of BGT as a part of the whole community and the exploitation of its energy, fertilizer and sanitation benefits.
