Blue Gas
Project Overview
About
Kisumu, Kenya, is a city that excels at adding value to waste items yet struggles with a systematic approach for solid-waste management. Meanwhile, families cook for hours every day using harmful fuels like kerosene, charcoal and firewood. Blue Gas is a project that investigates the business possibilities of transitioning to biogas, trialling a domestic biogas digester, a harvesting storage bag and a modified biogas stove. The aim of the project is to provide an affordable model for a piecemeal transition to alternative and renewable energy fuels in the household.
