How does biogas technology help poor rural families?
Biogas technology helps improve the livelihoods of poor rural people and contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The use of biogas helps minimize carbon emissions caused by burning fuelwood and by the natural decomposition of organic waste. This alternative form of energy also reduces the use of fossil energy. It helps improve sanitation conditions because cattle dung is no longer burned to generate power but is channelled into biogas digesters. Biogas plants also produce organic waste that is dried and used as fertilizer.
