Biogas for Household Energy and job creating Project
Project beneficiaries for this project will be the community families that use the energy services
Including households and farmers
Project baseline would have to be deducted from the two scenarios: the first is the one in which the swine manure are left to decay releasing methane and nitrous oxide. The second is the one in which lighting would be secured through the use of either kerosene or diesel. The project aims at using manure from livestock to generate household energy, where livestock is abundant and forest are becoming scarce. Indeed, in Nyamagabe, as it happens in the countrywide, the families rely on firewood for cooking and kerosene for lighting.

Project baseline would have to be deducted from the two scenarios: the first is the one in which the swine manure are left to decay releasing methane and nitrous oxide. The second is the one in which lighting would be secured through the use of either kerosene or diesel. The project aims at using manure from livestock to generate household energy, where livestock is abundant and forest are becoming scarce. Indeed, in Nyamagabe, as it happens in the countrywide, the families rely on firewood for cooking and kerosene for lighting.
Quelles sont les principales activités mises en place par le projet ?
The project activity will avoid methane and nitrous oxide emissions as
well as replacing the increasingly intensive use of firewood and liquid fossils, for cooking and lighting, respectively. Being biogas a renewable energy source, net CO2 emissions are inexistent and, the baseline will be mostly considered from what would happen in absence of this initiative. In fact, the most probable scenario would be to improve the release of methane from anaerobic degradation of swine manure. Also and as an indirect consequence, the use of kerosene or any other fossil based liquid fuel for lighting while, for cooking, the scarcity of firewood in the vicinity of major villages would result in an increased demand for the LPG. Far away from the villages, this would result in fuel switching to petroleum-based stoves.
Forest clearing is taking place which contributes for shortening the raining season and affecting
Negatively the biodiversity of the affected areas. This project will serve 100 small farms of the Nkomane Sector in the District of Nyamagabe in the southern province of Rwanda, these families have already been identified and a community leader will be involved in the management of the project in order to ensure its success and replication. One digester one householder but the community will be vigilant
En quoi votre initiative est-elle innovante ? Dans quelle mesure apporte-elle une contribution originale dans son domaine ?
The project aims at using manure from livestock to generate household energy, at the District of Nyamagabe (Nkomane Sector) where livestock is abundant and forests are becoming scarce. On the other side, for the household lighting, the most common fuel locally used is kerosene and, in second place, diesel. Both of them are fossil-based refined fuels and, therefore, potential CO2 emitters to the atmosphere.
As CO2 from fossil fuels will be replaced and the management of swine manure will avoid CH4
emissions, the project activity will greatly contribute to the reduction of GHG.
The present project activity will be based on bio-systems comprising bio-digesters in which the manure will be digested and methane produced. The fuel gas produced from manure fermentation inside the bio-digesters will be pipelined to household kitchens and living houses for cooking through gas stoves and lighting by using gas lights. The project will serve 100 rural small farmers and each bio-digester will serve around 200-500 animals. The biogas produced will be used as fuel for household energy needs while the sludge is to be used as fertilizer in household farming fields increasing the income of the community.
A quel étape votre projet en est-il ?
En place depuis moins d'un an
Comment décririez-vous la population auprès de laquelle vous travaillez ? Parlez-nous, par exemple, de la situation économique, des structures politiques, des normes et des valeurs, de l'évolution démographique, de l'histoire ou des précédentes expériences d'engagement communautaire.
Nyamagabe is one of the poorest District in Rwanda.99% are living in agriculture and below the poverty line . The genocide of 1994 ,which led to the loss of about 1 million lives and the creation of some 800,000 refugees and displaced persons in Rwanda, had devastating social and economic effect on that District .It led to a change in district’s demographic structure. Agriculture is the backbone of the company .it employs more than 97% of the population. But the sector is very fragile .Rough terrain ,erosion and climatic hazards combine with geography and the lack of modern technology.
The comprehensive food Security and vulnerability Analysis conducted by World Food Programme showed that more than 50% were food –insecure.
Racontez l'histoire du fondateur et ce qui l'a inspiré à démarrer ce projet
You can’t talk about nightmare unless you dream it. I (Tulikunkiko Raymond Viateur) was born and raise in rural area (1988 in Nkomane) for 14 years old when I left home for secondary school I always think about my homeland problems like poverty, lack of electricity and unemployment. However, I really look forward how to get solution and the idea of creating this organization (Rural Family Development Advocacy) was basically concentrated on existing resource like knowledge and so on .I thought a lot about how to solve those problems for the best of my peoples ,moreover Rwanda is massively invested in developing high technology both in city and rural area , But despite massive investment in infrastructure projects, the problem of energy poverty persisted .Every family in Nkomane 90% has a cow ,other 10% remaining has more than 5 sheep and goats ;this is an invaluable asset to produce biogas that will be used as fuel for household energy needs and the sludge is to be used as fertilizer in household farming field increasing the income of the community where the basic food security is the biggest concern in and every aspect of the community’s welfare was affected by periodic hunger . I think once I win this competition , I will use this opportunity of doing that for social impact and spreading this project to other regions.
Impact social
This Entry is about (Issues)
Décrivez les résultats positifs obtenus par votre projet ainsi que la façon dont ils sont mesurés.
The proposed project among many other benefits will deliver the following outputs:
• gaseous bio fuel for meeting household energy demand;
• methane emissions avoidance;
• better manure management resulting in diseases and water contamination avoidance; and,
• appropriate technology dissemination contributing to poverty alleviation in rural communities.
Biogas a clean energy source compared to diesel systems which would ordinarily be used with these boreholes and reduction in transport emissions associated with kerosene and also deforestation avoided.
Job opportunities will be created in maintaining and installing renewable energy technologies.
The locals will be involved in the construction of the system lowering or even removing the installation costs. Farmers and their householder will contribute to the project cost whereas 30% will be set as the minimal contribution for initial investment which will be bleared by the financier. Along the project savings from kerosene and part of the farm product selling income will be captured by the project through community committees.

Quelle va être l'évolution de votre projet lors des trois prochaines années ?
This project is a public sector project, with possible revenue stream from savings the families will have for not spending money on kerosene. The income from the farmers will lower or even cover the operational costs of the project.
With the increase of the productivity of the farmers more contribution from them will be expected and a contribution.
By offsetting the use of wood fuel and kerosene, avoiding methane emissions from swine manure the project will reduce about 1,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum which through carbon market can generate income of about $14,000. This is the main source of income in this project given that the savings from families for not using kerosene and wood is not easy to quantify though a contribution of $4,500 is expected as the minimum price per annual.
Viabilité
Quels sont les obstacles qui pourraient entraver la réussite de votre projet et comment comptez-vous les surmonter ?
This section intends to demonstrate to the reader that there is awareness of the risks associated to the project and below are the risk categories with some likelihood of occurrence and how to mitigate them.
Construction- For the implementation of the project, the technology is
available both locally and international. For the purpose of the project
only piping, gauge and safety systems will be procured outside the
country and the rest part of the technology exist in house. The barrier is
the cost of acquisition of the technology.
Operation and Maintenance-
These costs include salary of the technician,
Insurance and maintenance of the modules. This section does not pose
significant level of risk if the community is trained properly however
Underestimation can jeopardise the smooth implementation of the
project.
Exchange Rate- It poses some risks in the fact the budget is in USD and
material and technology procured locally will be in local currency. The
exchange rate fluctuates a lot, this risk can be minimised at the
budgeting stage through provisions for differences in currency.
Demand for the project’s product- the demand for the project is
Unquestionable, energy is still a scarce good and still will be in the next
decade and clean energy is favourable even where there is electricity.
The project incorporates a replication component in order to target more
people.
Ownership – The project will be owned by the communities and the
Community leaders have to take the management responsibility. Public
Ownership may pose challenges but since the community will be trained
and sensitized the public goods management risk will be minimized.
Legislative- No regulation obliges the use of biogas or any renewable
energy source thus there is no legal risk associated to the project.
Investment environment - this is a sustainable project which reduces
greenhouse gas and adds value to the community such as Provision of
clean and renewable energy for communities. Lowered costs for fuel
(currently estimated at 30% or more of household incomes), Increased
health benefits due to a decrease in use of wood kerosene.
Empowerment for communities through training and development of
skills. Balance of Payments benefits from the reduction of kerosene
imports
Institutional Capacity - there is capacity in-house; RFDA volunteers have
long experience in undertaking renewable energy projects their level of
motivation which will contribute to remove most of the barriers.
Availability of resources - PVC deposits, cement for concrete are expensive but
available in country and only piping, gauge and safety systems will be imported. These resources are environment risk free and renewable
Quels sont vos différents partenariats ?
We will work hands in hands with public sectors, local government, Kigali Institute for Science and Technology, National University of Rwanda through IRST and other interested body, private institutions or any other organization.
Actuellement, quel est votre budget annuel (USD) ?
Moins de $1 000
Expliquez vos choix.
Rural family development advocacy is not actually used to make a competition for grant but in 2010 we trained rural families on the topic on impact of food security on human being and the people appreciated a lot our presentation
In January 2011 we have managed to train the prisoners the use of manure to produce biogas electricity.
Comment pensez-vous pouvoir consolider votre projet au cours des trois prochaines années ?
Our plan to strengthen our project over the next three years will be based on creating a powerful biogas station to produce electricity for more than our expectations I mean to cover the countryside of the neighbouring districts or provinces.
