BIO-GAS ENERGY LOANS

EBO Sente Slide-01

WHAT IS THE BIOGAS LOAN PROGRAM?

This Loan allows a dairy farmer to use cow dung and water to generate bio gas.
Biogas is an environmentally-friendly, renewable energy source produced by the breakdown of organic matter such as food scraps and animal waste.

In the EBO case, we use water and cow dung for the Sistema bio prefabricated kits. Fixed dome can use pig droppings also.

Biogas, a renewable fuel, is produced when organic matter, in this case animal waste (cow dung) is broken down by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen. This process is called anaerobic digestion. For this to take place, the waste material needs to be enclosed in an environment where there is no oxygen.

WHY BIOGAS

  • First, it’s an eco-friendly energy source produced from organic waste, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Second, it’s cost-effective, as it utilizes locally available materials like animal dung.
  • Third, biogas provides a reliable energy supply, especially in rural areas where electricity access is limited.
  • Lastly, it promotes sustainable agriculture by recycling organic waste into valuable energy and fertilizer, contributing to both environmental and economic benefits for Ugandan communities.
