The school use over 700m3 of woodfuel every year. Interpreted in terms of trees felled, it is obvious that the school's contribution to the scale of deforestation is quite high. The proposed project would not only arrrest this trend of ( ... )
nmental degradation but it will help to popularize biogas technology as a nature friendly source of energy to the community around the school. Biogas plants are run by cow dung, night soil and water. This implies that they are easy to operate and maintain and therefore have longer production life. The main objective is to promote through schools the use of biogas as an alternative environment
