Biogas Promotion
In the lowland areas 0 f
Jalalabad, Laghman, Kabul; Logar and Herat Provinces, firewood
scarcity is sufficiently acute to merit the promotion of energy
alternatives. Biogas is one such alternative. Conditions in the
target provinces are considered suitable, given the availability
of animal dung, assured access to water and temperatures mild
enough to support year-round methane production.
View of fixed dome type bio gas
plant, which is using for domestic cooking. 75 plants of biogas
have been constructed in Laghman, Nangarhar and Herat provinces.
biogas plant is
currently constructing, units with the capacity of 8 to 50 cu.m,
and is built from brick and cement. This size is
sufficient to provide an extended family of 20 persons with up
to 7 hours of gas per day for cooking, lighting or ironing,
using the manure from animals. The digestion process also
generates high quality fertilizer. This can either be sold or
used to improve agricultural output on the
family farm.
More than 100 units have already
been constructed in the target area. The owners of biogas pay
the program cost of biogas units over a period of 8 -12 months.
Additional plants are constructed with the received repayment.
Within the target districts,
strict criteria are followed in the selection of beneficiary
households, given the relatively high cost of the units, the
quantities of manure and water that are needed and the
maintenance requirements. Ownership of livestock, access to a
permanent water source and availability of finance are some of
the pre-requisites. Beneficiaries are required to sign an
agreement that stipulates the terms and conditions of the
assistance, including payment terms. A cash deposit is expected.
