Our humanitarian action

FOCUS ON THE BIO GAS PLANTS

In such a densely populated country, where available land is scarce, waste management is a daily challenge. Improper human waste disposal can lead to contamination of drinking water, spreading of diseases and degradation of the environment.

The Biogas plant is an anaerobic digester that treats human and organic waste. It is one of the most useful technologies to optimize the usage of the waste to generate energy, and at the same time ensuring contributing to safe-keeping and clean environment by preventing bad odor and contamination of the underground water. The Biogas Plant is processing methane gas which is produced during the fermentation process. The residue obtained from the plant is used as fish food and fertilizer. It is a system to process livestock wastes into safe, high-quality, efficient organic fertilizer without exhausting greenhouse gases into the air. The gas produced can be used to produce electricity, can be compressed like natural gas and store in bottles to power motor vehicles or can be used to cook as alternative to fire wood.
