Oeganda – Projectupdate 2024
In our Uganda biogas project, we work together with our project partner Biogas Solutions Uganda Limited (BSUL). In this update, you can read about the activities carried out in 2024 and the impact the project has had so far on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Throughout 2024, the Uganda biogas project focused on knowledge sharing, community engagement, and providing long-term support to rural households. Together with Biogas Solutions Uganda Limited (BSUL), we continued to improve access to biogas while promoting sustainable agriculture. Through user training, local promoters, and ongoing after-sales support, the project’s impact continues to grow year after year.
520 local promoters trained
A major milestone in 2024 was the training of 520 local promoters. These community members help raise awareness about clean cooking and the benefits of biogas within their own villages. By sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm, they encourage more households to switch to clean and sustainable energy.
Training for sustainable use
To ensure that biogas systems continue to operate efficiently, BSUL organised 2,045 user training sessions in 2024. During these sessions, participants learned how to safely operate and maintain their biodigesters. They also received practical training on using bio-slurry as an organic fertiliser, enabling them to benefit not only from clean energy but also from healthier soils and increased agricultural yields.
Investing in long-term impact
In 2024, the revenue generated from carbon credits was reinvested into the project. This funding enabled BSUL to keep biogas systems affordable for rural households while continuing to invest in quality control, user training, and after-sales services. In addition, families received guidance on applying bio-slurry to improve soil fertility, reduce their dependence on chemical fertilisers, and make their farming systems more sustainable.
