Prospects and challenges for urban application of biogas installations in Sub-Saharan Africa

Socio-Economic Considerations of Converting Food Waste into Biogas on a Household Level in Indonesia: The Case of the City of Bandung

“…Since it is produced from waste and does not require much time in the case of composting, it is often argued that the bio-slurry should be cheaper than its counterparts like compost, whereas it currently has a similar price (the price of compost per kilogram is currently the same as that of bio-slurry per liter, US $0.78). The significance of bio-slurry sales is also found in previous research [51].…”

The potential for small-scale biogas digesters in Sub-Saharan Africa to improve sustainable rural livelihoods

“…Failure to treat the organic wastes so that they can be returned to the areas where primary crop production occurs creates a resource mine, which results in a long term decline in the productivity of these rural areas. Gebreegziabher et al [12] review opportunities and challenges for urban application of biogas in SSA, suggesting that biogas digesters play an essential role in adding value to organic residues so as to facilitate urban waste management. They also provide the opportunity for sustainable and reliable domestic energy provision through electricity generation.…”

Inter-sector Linkages for Renewable Energy Development in Low-Income African Countries

“…Biogas production and usage: Biogas technology is valued not only because of its economic benefits but also for the broader environmental services (Gebreegziabher et al 2014). Ideally, biogas ought to be the most affordable to average communities because the feedstock for anaerobic digestion (AD) is very abundant.…”
