Economic viability of biogas technology in a Bangladesh village
We estimate energy consumption for domestic cooking and biogas energy resources for 21 clusters of households in a village. Data were analysed on a cluster basis, with investments shared. Under the present conditions, biogas technology would not be economically viable. Economic analysis involving viability tools including additional benefits of biogas technology indicate that creating a market for local biogas would make such a project feasible.
