Wanted!

A biogas installation! It might not be the first thing you would associate with an educational market garden project, but it’s next on our wish list. It’s a logical step, too, because wherever there’s a good supply of natural plant waste, there’s a way of generating cheap energy.

Why biogas?

Biogas is a fuel made using biomass, such as dead plants. This means that biogas is a renewable fuel source, and therefore an excellent alternative to a dwindling supply of fossil fuels. This sustainable energy source is also a good alternative to more expensive forms of energy, such as electricity or charcoal, especially in developing countries.

Help us save!

We are currently saving up for a biogas installation which will turn the school’s organic waste into energy. The installation will cost about €4000, but this investment will reduce Githothua Primary School’s gas bill by more than €1000 per year.
