Hi Beans1234321,

Extracting energy from compost is an interesting topic and it could be the basis for a great science project. Since this is a very broad topic you should consider some very specific aspects that you might want to build your project around. For example, you might want to experiment with different compost materials, different bin designs or compost aeration methods to find out if energy production changes.

The “Project Guide” section of this site contains some helpful information about getting started with your project.

There is one related project on this website:

You may find this project description helpful in developing a project that fits your interests.

I hope this helps. Please ask again if you have more questions.
