Philips kitchen concept generates energy from domestic waste
The concept  The Microbial Home concept by Philips was showcased
at the Dutch Design week. This domestic ecosystem concept
harnesses biological waste by breaking them down and converting
it into an energy resource. With a biodigester, this concept
uses bacteria to generate gas in the kitchen island.  Philips
Kitchen Concept powered by Poop  The Inspiration  The designer
was inspired by the fact that so much can be done with the
household waste rather than further wastage. In this design
concept, the kitchen is the focal point where it can regenerate
and power itself. This whole concept uses not only the gas range
and chopping surface, but an ensemble of cast iron, glass,

biodigester features a bacteria culture and vegetable grinder
which encourages bacteria which thrives on organic waste and
thereby produce methane gas energy. This is collected and burnt,
which then feeds the cooking range for
