The Nopalimex is a biodigestor powered by a cactus (nopal) widely found in Mexico.
Nopalimex is a biodigestor developed by Miguel Aké entirely powered by nopal, a cactus. The plant benefits from economies of scale and also no transport cost, as the crop is grown around it. The biogas produced is used in the factory for making corn and cactuschips, as well as in a genset for electricity. Some is cleaned of carbon dioxide and provided as biomethane, which can be used in modified vehicles.
