Project Description
BIOGAS COOKING
GRIDS
Millions of women in rural India spend a considerable
part of their day collecting and carrying firewood across
large distances, affecting their health, well being and safety.
Rural women are often compelled to use firewood and agri-residue as their major cooking fuel.
Lack of infrastructure and limited decision making power prevent utilization of modern and clean energy sources.
Volatile rates and in some cases lack of access have slowed down widespread adoption of LPG.
Biogas cooking grids using locally available resources can provide a clean and sustainable source of cooking fuel across diverse regions.
