Due to its ability to recover both material and energy from organic waste, biogas technology is considered the best technology for treating organic waste. While in many emerging Asian countries more than 50% of municipal waste is organic waste, the amount of organic waste treated with biogas technology remains very limited. This study identified key challenges faced by practitioners in sustaining biogas plants from literature and interviewed a number of sustainably operating biogas plant managers and, based on the findings, developed an implementation framework to help decision makers and practitioners in planning a sustainable municipal organic waste biogas plant facility.

“…In Nepal, the residential sector dominates the total energy consumption pattern and receives the most attention from among researchers and policy makers. Pradhan and Limmeechokchai [11] analyzed electric and biogas stoves as an option for cooking fuel in Nepal and Thailand using the Asia-Pacific Integrated Model (AIM)/Enduse as an analytical tool. They compared three low-carbon cooking scenarios with the business as usual scenario, focusing mainly on the penetration effects of biogas and electricity cooking options in the country's energy consumption pattern and energy-related GHG emissions, emphasizing that promoting electricity for cooking is not always a better option; it depends upon the country's available energy sources.…”

“…A number of studies have been conducted on household fuel switching from solid fuels to a cleaner fuel [16][17][18], in which household age, education, income, size, and the price and availability of fuel are mentioned as strong determinants of fuel switching success. Although several studies have highlighted household fuel switching from solid fuel to a cleaner fuel (e.g., [16][17][18][19]), only limited studies have focused on fuel switching from LPG to electricity [11,15]. There are only a few studies conducted on the household electric cooking [11,20].…”

Cooking energy has an important role in energy demand of Nepal. Over the last decade, import of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has increased by 3.3 times as an alternate cooking fuel to kerosene and firewood. The growing subsidy burden to endorse modern fuel switching from traditional energy sources and high import of LPG are challenges for sustainability and energy security. This paper analyzes the future residential cooking energy demand and its environmental and economic impacts from 2015 to 2035 using a Long-range Energy Alternative Planning System (LEAP) tool. In 2035, the LPG demand for cooking is projected to be 26.5 million GJ, 16.3 million GJ, 45.2 million GJ and 58.2 million GJ for business as usual (BAU), low growth rate (LGR), medium growth rate (MGR) and high growth rate (HGR) scenarios, respectively. To substitute LPG with electricity in the cooking sector by 2035, an additional 1207 MW, 734 MW, 2055 MW and 2626 MW hydropower installation is required for BAU, LGR, MGR and HGR scenarios, respectively. In the MGR scenario, substituting LPG with electricity could save from $21.8 million (2016) to $70.8 million (2035) each year, which could be used to develop large-scale hydropower projects in the long term.
