Name Your Project
Stopping the use of fossil fuels
Describe Your Idea
Innovation
What is your idea? What makes it innovative? Why is it important?
The idea is to stop the use of fossil fuels for cooking which is harmful to the environment by promoting the use of biogas which uses animal waste and bio-degradable waste materials. I intend to carry advocacy to the local government authorities to generate support for the project. I intend to train trainers who will step down the training to to others as a multilayer venture. Setting up a biogas production facility in homes is cost-effective as only plastic drums and tubes of tyres are required. Animal wastes are available free so are water hycinths which can be used in the alternative
