Biogas Solution
We provide a cheaper source of energy for cooking and lighting in rural homes compared to firewood, charcoal and kerosene. Biogas provides a clean and smoke free cooking with less health risks like cancer, respiratory complications, and eye problems related to use of firewood.
Africa is known for its high rates of premature deaths due to indoor air pollution caused by cooking on firewood or charcoal. Air pollution has been called the 'silent killer'. This problem is severe in rural Uganda where women spend on average more than three hours per day in the kitchen to cook and clean pots and stoves. Besides, cooking on firewood contributes to fast deforestation.
Cooking on biogas is an ideal solution. Biogas is a clean and renewable cooking fuel. In Uganda biogas is also used for lighting in areas without access to electricity. A bio digester at home also produces bio-slurry which is used to fertilize crops. Domestic biogas also is solution to methane emissions from cow and pig manure left decomposing in open pits.
