About this project

SimGas Tanzania Ltd. is the VPA implementer of this VPA. SimGas Tanzania Ltd. is a joint venture between Silafrica Ltd., based in Tanzania, and SimGas BV, based in the Netherlands and is specifically set up to disseminate and scale up the use of biogas digesters. The VPA will stimulate the installation of domestic biogas systems country wide, of 2 to 16 m3 capacities. It will install and maintain biogas systems through biogas-related enterprises engaged in construction, appliances and parts. In order to make biogas technologies more affordable to the end-user, the digesters will be offered at a reduced price, subsidised in part by carbon revenues. The VPA will implement manure-fed biogas systems that enable smallholder farmers to use the manure of their livestock to generate energy and organic fertiliser. A pit latrine can also be connected to the biogas system.
