PK is conducting a biogas experiment at an abattoir in southern Namibia. The aim of the experiment is to expand on the results from previous, initial tests of the biogas potential of slaughter waste, conducted at the same abattoir late 2013. Findings from laboratory experiments conducted at the abattoir suggests that it is possible to […]

Assessing biogas potential of slaughter waste
Early December 2013 the team implementing the Sustainable Abattoir project conducted an experiment at an abattoir in southern Namibia. The aim of the experiment was to determine the biogas potential of slaughter waste. The study is part of the project “The Sustainable Abattoir”, which is funded by Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and implemented […]
Assessing feasibility of biogas generation in Gam
Only few communities in the remote rural parts of north-eastern Namibia have access to grid electricity. A majority of settlements there depend on wood for their cooking, heating and lighting. Gam, a rural settlement situated in Otjizondjupa region close to the boarder of Botswana is an example of such an off-grid community. The settlement was […]
