Project Summary / Description:

The purpose of the project is to launch a low cost, portable biogas plant that will convert organic wastes to biogas and fertilizer. The traditional biogas plants are expensive and need significant efforts to install, operate & maintain. Where as Poworganic has developed its own designed biogas plant that is light weight, portable, easy to install-operate-maintain and hence low cost.

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Our project is targeted to empower the marginalized people with sustainable, clean energy source. The rural areas of developing countries are mostly off grid. The people mostly use firewood, straw, kerosene etc. as the cooking fuel. These fuels create GHG, smoke which is injurious for the women. Moreover, there is no established organic waste treatment facility in rural areas. Untreated organic wastes create GHG as well as spread diseases. So, our project was to develop a low cost solution that could treat the organic wastes and turn them into valuable cooking gas and fertilizer. The traditional biogas plants are expensive and less convenient to install & operate. The portable biogas plant- developed by Poworganic is low cost and easy to install-operate and maintain. We solved the current market limitations through innovative design and customization. Our product gave convenience to the users and hence it motivated them to use in a regular manner. The clean cooking gas improved the overall health condition of the women ‚ who are mostly vulnerable to smoke in the kitchen. Also the organic fertilizer ‚ generated from the biogas plant gave them the opportunity to earn additional revenue by selling in the local market. So, our biogas plant was not limited to generating clean, sustainable cooking gas only; but also empowered the rural women who were the most vulnerable community in the society.
