Gaelan Brown is one of the world’s leading renewable energy experts and author known for his work in promoting compost-powered heat systems. He is the author of The Compost-Powered Water Heater, a guide on how to extract heat from composting organic matter. His approach leverages the natural thermophilic process of composting to generate heat, which can be used for heating buildings, greenhouses, and water, offering an environmentally friendly and fuel-free energy solution.
He currently oversees marketing for Green Mountain Technologies, one of the leading industrial and commercial scale composting consultants worldwide.
Brown has been involved in numerous compost-heat recovery projects around the world, from Vermont to Chile, and has worked with Agrilab Technologies to refine compost heat systems for larger-scale applications, like farms and commercial compost producers. These systems, including the Isobar system, use compost to generate heat efficiently, often providing a significant financial return in energy savings. He also lives in a tiny house and advocates for sustainable living.
