Harnessing Biogas Resources for Production of Methane Gas

Abstract

Nigeria faces a significant challenge in providing reliable and affordable cooking fuel, particularly in rural areas and educational institutions. Reliance on traditional biomass fuels like firewood and charcoal contributes to deforestation, environmental degradation, and respiratory health problems. Additionally, access to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) can be limited and expensive. This project presents the design and construction of a 100-liter fixed-dome biogas plant for cooking applications. The plant was constructed using readily available materials, focusing on affordability and ease of assembly. The project aimed to harness organic waste and convert it into a sustainable and renewable fuel source. Following construction, the plant underwent a testing phase, successfully generating 5kg of biogas within 10 days. This highlights the plant’s potential for providing clean and sustainable cooking fuel in resource-constrained settings. This research contributes to ongoing efforts to address Nigeria’s fuel challenges by offering a localized, sustainable, and potentially cost-effective solution.
