The gases methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide (CO) can be combusted or
oxidized with oxygen. This energy release allows biogas to be used as a fuel; it
can be used for any heating purpose, such as cooking. It can also be used in a
gas engine to convert the energy in the gas into electricity and heat.

of energy crops such as corn, or waste materials such as manure or food waste.

Specifically, this study investigates whether there are any links between
women’s status and their role in making a decision toward the shift in cooking
fuel. In rural areas, the responsibilities of women are not only confined to
performing household duties, but they are also responsible for the collection and
management of the cooking fuel (e.g. Animal dung, fuel wood, and crop
residues).Much of the population that uses biomass as the main source of energy

34 district and 23 had no natural gas only 11 district headquarters are supplied
with gas.

source of livelihood in the village .that goats, sheep, and cows are the major type
of livestock in the village. The demand of an average sized family in village was
calculated using daily fuel wood consumption by a village household. 10kg fuel
wood used per day per house hold required for cooking the bio-gas requirement
for replacing fuel wood used for cooking. The amount of bio-gas required for
cooking approximately 1kg per day per household. Member of per house hold

activity. Consequently there is significant agriculture/animals waste generated
and there is also support of farmers, superior feedstock for bovine (cow dung)
animals, generation of horticulture waste which can be used as feed stoke for
biogas plant. The village is rich in livestock resources that are contributing

hearths, or home-made clay stoves are used in most parts of village. 40%
householder use traditional mud stove. Traditional biomass fuels such as dung

used for cooking and heating is wood. 68 ton/month firewood used for cooking
and heating in per household, followed by other solid biomass fuels, such as
charcoal, dung, agricultural residues and sometimes even leaves and grass.
These fuels are often collected from the local environment in rural areas

2. If a biogas plant is set up in the village for producing cooking gas for
entire village, would you contribute animal dung and other biomass
resources to the plant?
It was clear from the survey data that there was a pervasive perception that
biogas technology works only for people who have sufficient animal and
energy .73% household are agree to do the project in village. Many of them,
farm laborers or workers in the area, mentioned that although they did not own
livestock, they were willing to travel to collect animal waste from neighboring
farms.

3.2.11 THE MAIN CHALLENGE
The main challenge do we think are related to community-based biogas
plant
The main challenge, according to survey result is initial cost of plant the
majority continued to believe that the capital costs of installing a biogas plant
are too high we should come forward to take benefit of the government scheme,
private scheme, many ENGO are working and install biogas plants in village.
Further we discuss our main challenge is distribution of gas because the area of
houses are too long we need to distribute biogas to the villagers through
underground pipe.
