One of the most promising small-scale renewable energy solutions is biogas generation from poultry waste. Poultry farms produce large quantities of organic waste in the form of chicken manure, feathers, and bedding material. Instead of allowing this waste to contribute to pollution and odor issues, it can be converted into biogas for cooking purposes and urea-rich fertilizer for gardens and farmlands.
Prime Business International has undertaken a groundbreaking initiative under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Community Partnership Arrangement, focusing on converting poultry waste into biogas and organic urea fertilizer. This initiative not only promotes clean energy adoption but also supports sustainable agriculture and economic empowerment at the community level.
Small-Scale Poultry-Based Biogas Projects: A Sustainable Energy Model
Biogas technology is a simple yet effective method of harnessing renewable energy from organic waste. The core concept revolves around the anaerobic digestion process, where microorganisms break down organic material in an oxygen-free environment, producing methane-rich biogas and a nutrient-rich byproduct known as digestate, which can be processed into organic fertilizer.This process significantly reduces dependence on firewood and LPG, contributing to cleaner air and lower household energy costs.
