How Our Biogas Systems Work
♻️ Closed-loop process:
- Farmers/schools separate organic waste
- Mixed with water in anaerobic digesters
- Produces methane for cooking
- Nutrient-rich slurry used as fertilizer
Impact at St. Mary's School (Ibadan)
- 80% reduction in firewood use
- 2 hours daily saved on fuel collection (mostly by girls)
- ₦25,000/month saved on cooking gas
- 1.2 tons CO2 avoided monthly
"The smell of smoke in our kitchen is gone. Now we cook with gas from our food scraps while growing healthier vegetables with the fertilizer byproduct."
— Mrs. Adeola, School Principal
Project Expansion
Our 2024 targets:
- Install 50 modular systems in farms/schools
- Train 200 women as biogas technicians
- Develop 15 waste collection micro-businesses
