About Course
This is a knowledge sharing session on biogas technologies. Africa faces rising energy demands and mounting organic waste challenges, yet millions of tonnes of agricultural and food waste go unused every year. Biogas technology offers a powerful solution by turning everyday organic waste into clean energy and nutrient-rich bio-fertilizer.
In this session, you will learn:
1. The fundamentals of biogas and anaerobic digestion.
2. Types of feedstock, from food waste to agricultural residues.
3. Key concepts such as Total Solids (TS), Volatile Solids (VS), and Organic Loading Rate (OLR).
4. The four stages of anaerobic digestion and their importance.
5. Categories of biodigesters and how they work.
6. Real-life challenges and opportunities in Africa’s biogas sector
7. How biogas supports energy access and waste reduction.
