About this project

The proposed project activity involves installation of biogas units (clean and sustainable source of renewable energy for cooking) at the target households in Kenya. HomeBiogas distributes 2.5 m3 biogas systems to rural households at subsidized price. The biogas system will replace traditional wood stove and thereby avoid CO2 emission associated with wood burning. The biogas systems use the animal manure as feedstock which was dumped in a pit in the baseline scenario. Hence, the biogas systems also avoid CH4 emission from the animal manure dumped in pits. The project activity aims to provide around 50,000 households with a biogas unit. The capacity of the biodigester will be 8m3 (2.5 m3 gas tank volume) depending on the need of the family.
