Overview

Inside the project

The programme intends to support the market-driven installation of 18,000 high quality biogas plants, providing households with clean energy for cooking and lighting and promoting the use of bio-slurry as organic fertiliser.

Phase II builds on the 8,161 biogas plants installed under NBPE-I (2009-2013), also supported by SNV, and emphasises developing private-sector entrepreneurial skills in bio-digester construction.
