“…The drudgery of rural women caused by fuelwood collection can be reduced to a great extent by using biogas (Agoramoorthy and Hsu 2008;Lohan et al 2015;Raha, Mahanta, and Clarke 2014). Collection of biomass is tedious, time consuming and involves high opportunity cost.…”

Biogas is a viable alternative for supplying clean and sustainable energy. Despite all manner of policy measures introduced by the Government of India, biogas is not widely used in India. This article tries to identify factors that influence the decision to adopt biogas at household level. We examine a conceptual framework empirically in which a household wants to maximize utility from biogas by using the India Human Development Survey (IHDS) I, which is a nationally representative, multi-topic survey. By applying both maximum likelihood and penalized likelihood methods (Firthlogit) of logistic regression on a sample size of almost 10,384 households, it has been found that wealthy people are more likely to adopt biogas compared to the marginalized section of the society. We recommend more inclusive policy measures for the weaker section of the society to create an enabling environment to make it a self-promoting technology.

“…Since the 1970s, China and India were the two largest household biogas users in the world thanks to their extensive experience in anaerobic digestion, the availability of biomass and the strong support of national funds [12,13]. In these countries, several studies have shown and evaluated household digesters performance and biogas dissemination programmes [10,13,14,15].…”

This review aims to provide an overview of household biogas digester implementation in rural areas of Latin America. It considers the history of household digesters in Latin America, including technical, environmental, social and economic aspects. Several successful experiences have been promoted during the last decade, including the creation of the Network for Biodigesters in Latin America and the Caribbean (RedBioLAC) that provides a forum to coordinate implementation and research programs throughout the continent. Although the potential of this technology is well demonstrated, some barriers are identified, such as the need for technical improvements, lack of social acceptance and high investment costs. Thus, further efforts should be undertaken to overcome these barriers and improve the technical performance, social acceptance, economic benefits and environmental impact in order to enhance its widespread dissemination in energy poor communities.
