Currently, animal manure from farmers in Ghana is left to decay anaerobically, emitting methane into the atmosphere. At the same time, local farmers mainly use firewood for cooking in inefficient traditional cookstoves. This causes significant deforestation and emissions, as well as indoor air pollution, with the risk for women being especially high due to more exposure while cooking.

The HomeBiogas activity supports the rollout of compact household biogas systems in rural regions. By converting organic waste into renewable cooking gas, these systems reduce methane emissions, improve access to clean energy, and enhance health and local development. A simple technology with a strong climate impact.
