When it comes to the international energy market and the distribution of gas by large commercial companies, sustainability is not always a main priority. So how can we as consumers address this dilemma?

In this episode of State of Repair, Motherboard goes to Arnhem, a city in the Netherlands, to meet with Gijs. Gijs is a Dutch indie engineer and motorcycle enthusiast who has designed a motorbike that runs on self harvested methane gas from roadside bogs. He hopes to raise awareness about the lack of sustainability in the commercialized gas industry through the hardships of harvesting his own energy.
