Bio Gas For Cooking

Cooking in Marsabit means making a wood fire every day. The best way yet for the local communities, but of course existing trees are used for this. What if we succeed in offering affordable biogas systems for households, in which manure is the basis for biogas production? Most families have livestock and therefore enough manure that can be used to make biogas.

Augustinus is trained to build biogas systems based on manure. Small systems that can be used at household level. He can build a demo system in the UBUNTU Centre, while at the same time training young people for this. Once there is enough budget to take action, they can build more biogas systems and start their own start-up to deliver biogas systems in all communities of Marsabit and beyond.

In 2024 we would like to build the first biogas system in the UBUNTU Centre, to show that it is possible. In the Centre women cook porridge daily as breakfast for the children. So this can be done by biogas as soon as the system is ready.
