Bio-gas generators for Kenya and Madagascar

The enquiries for bio-gas generators in both Kenya and Madagascar were for use in rural communities where the supply of fossil fuels is difficult, sporadic and expensive. Farmers will feed animal waste products and vegetation waste into the generator to create methane that will fuel cooking equipment.

As well as their obvious environmental benefits, this highlights the fact that renewable energy products, such as bio-gas generators, have wider reaching, positive socio/economic benefits for rural communities, such as those in Kenya and Madagascar.
