Biogas plants slash power bills for farmers

Use of biogas will consequently reduce farmers’ expenses and help in conserving the environment through replacing firewood, charcoal, and paraffin, among others, as an alternative source of energy.

Besides providing energy, biogas plants will also solve the problem of the stink that is normally generated from decomposing coffee pulp.

It will be decomposed in biogas plants and the by-product — bio-slurry — used as manure.

When cow dung and other materials are left to decompose naturally, the gas is released into the environment which contributes to depletion of the ozone layer.
