Abstract:
Global concerns of climate change, increased greenhouse gas emissions and security
of energy supply have accelerated the search for alternative energy sources both in
developed and developing countries. Developing countries are now embracing
utilization of biogas as a renewable energy option to meet some of their cooking and
lighting needs. In Uganda, despite the introduction of biogas in the 1950’s, the
technology has not received considerable acceptance and as a result its penetration has remained relatively low.
