Anaerobic Digestion and the Evolution of Research on Biogas Technology

Historians and philosophers of technology on the one hand and sociologists of technology on the other have long grappled with theorising the mechanisms of technological evolution or the determinants of technological innovation. This paper attempts to understand when technologies considered obsolete or shelved are redrawn into the technology development cycle. This it does through an exploration of one of the trajectories of research on anaerobic fermentation and the evolution of biogas technologies at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore over a period of fifty years. The paper maps the interlocking of endogenous factors and externalities, that repeatedly pulled the technology out of what may have been construed as obsolescence or the end of the technology development cycle. Edgerton’s notion of a `use-centred history’ provides a conceptual rubric for an alternative framing that overcomes the limitations of the distinctions drawn between high-tech and low-tech, as well as modern and traditional technologies. What commenced as research on anaerobic digestion for one specific end-use, subsequently evolves along several paths of dendritic extension towards a multiplicity of end-uses and a diversification of materials subject to anaerobic digestion.},
