Food garbage management and dwindling natural gas resources have raised an alarm worldwide. But the innovative Hybrid Gas Range created by award-winning Korean designer Seokmoon Woo claims to tackle the two problems via one simple innovation. By using food garbage as an alternate fuel for the gas range, the concept helps reduce food garbage in households while meeting a chunk of their energy needs as well by allowing them to switch between the collected methane and regular gas at the press of a button.
What’s Different?
The concept allows users to put away their food garbage in a classifier in the center which ferments and creates methane that is used as fuel for the gas range. The resulting waste is dehydrated by the machine and collected in a tank at the bottom that can be disposed off later.
Price and Availability
The gizmo is still a concept for the time being but deserves to be launched in the market for its sheer green spirit.
