| Biogas Project Kenya | |
| Description: | The nature and biodiversity surrounding small rural communities and households in Nakuru Kenya is being destroyed by the relentless need to collect firewood for cooking. The use of traditional three-stone fires for cooking contributes to high levels of indoor air pollution, adversely affecting health particularly of the women and children. This contributes to the death of 21,500 people in Kenya each year. Children under 5 are badly affected. 90% of rural Kenyan households still cook with wood fires. Rural families around Nakuru typically have livestock and animal dung. Cows can come to the rescue. Cow dung can easily be converted to natural gas for cooking. Other biomass and animal dung can be used but cow dung is the best. Once operating, the Biogas unit utilizes the animal dung to produce a clean renewable fuel for cooking. The biogas by-products can be used as fertilizer for a kitchen garden or farming. |
