“…Due to poor digester feed eminence and a nonexistence of facility expertise, biogas production could not be maintained. Local technical expertise in replacing replacements is inadequate to maintain biogas production in the case of a lack of primary feedstock (Tumusiime et al 2019 ). The evaluation is based on biogas plant knowledge and comprehension, encompassing a broader geographical perspective.…”

In a developing country such as Pakistan, adopting biogas technology is a complicated process. The government has taken several steps to address energy issues by increasing biogas facilities. This research seeks to identify the major barriers to the deployment of biogas plants. Respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method. As a result, 79 adopters of biogas plants participated. Utilizing a structured questionnaire, primary data were collected. Hypotheses were evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Study results demonstrate that all influencing factors are favorably associated with implementing biogas technology, minimizing energy crises, and achieving cost-cutting objectives. In addition, the findings show that properly reducing economic and governmental barriers, encourage farmers to use biogas plants productively and substantially. To build biogas facilities, the government should adopt an economic strategy, owner training, day-to-day operations, and professional technical assistance.

“…Due to the poor quality of digester feed, the lack of awareness and understanding of the facilities failed to sustain biogas production. During the shortage of primary feedstock, the local technical data to use alternatives also failed to maintain biogas production (Tumusiime et al, 2019). The current position states the evaluation is based on awareness and understanding of biogas plants, which describes the broader geographical region view.…”

Biogas technology adoption is a challenge in developing countries like China. The primary objective of this study was to explore the major issues for farmers in adopting biogas plants. The sample size was identified through the snowball sampling method. A total of 51 respondents of biogas plant adopters participated in this study. The structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data through respondents. The formulated suppositions were assessed by partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicated that all independent variables are significant and positively correlated with adopting biogas technology, reducing energy crises, and attaining cost-saving purposes. The results further indicated that the low cost and clear policy positively and significantly attract farmers to adopt biogas plants. The selected variables and their adopted moderation have a significant and positive impact on this conceptual model. The findings further indicate that major maintenance and day-to-day operations of biogas plants are expensive due to a lack of skilled operators, untrained or partially trained owners, and the unavailability of technicians. The results suggested that the government needs to plan a clear policy, provide short operation courses and technical support with skilled technicians to biogas plant owners, and launch a media campaign about maintenance to develop biogas plants.

“…Biogas production is an important part of sustainability goals in developing countries. A recent review concerning biogas development in Europe shows that it has seen significant growth in recent years which has mainly been driven by favourable support schemes [24,39,40]. These support schemes are missing in Bangladesh, and our study shows that this constitutes a main barrier.…”
