7. USE OF BIOGAS STOVE DURATION (HOUR) USE OF BIOGAS LAMP DURATION (HOUR)
Another Renew Energy Project called “Green Loan for Bio-digester” is interested and encouraged farmers to apply
What is Bio-digester?
There are different types of bio-digester in use. The widely used model is the fixed dome digester buried under the ground. The fixed dome bio-digester consists of digester with a fixed non-moveable gasholder, which sits on top of the digester. In this biogas process, a source of renewable energy is generated such as methane (CH4), bio-slurry, gas for cooking, lightening and much more.
The estimated costs of bio-digester depend on different sizes:
BIO-DIGESTER SIZE (M3)
TOTAL COST (US$)
SUBSIDY FROM NBP (US$)
FARMER  COST (US$)

8. Bio-digester construction (37 constructed)
 4m3 bio-digester total cost $550 (NBP supports $150 & construction technique). It is popular size and cost for community to choose. It is spent 5-7 day to construct.  For remaining $, she could assess Green Loan from VDB without interest rate.

9. Advantages of Bio-digester
Busy Life (1F consist of 5-8pax);
