The Biogas Program of ARS-Bangladesh promotes renewable energy and sustainable rural development by supporting the installation and use of biogas plants for household and agricultural purposes. The program converts organic waste, such as livestock manure and agricultural residues, into clean and efficient energy for cooking and other domestic needs.
By reducing dependence on traditional fuels, the program helps lower household energy costs, improve sanitation, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and protect natural resources. In addition, the use of bio-slurry as an organic fertilizer enhances agricultural productivity and supports environmentally friendly farming practices.
Through awareness raising, technical support, and community engagement, ARS-Bangladesh’s Biogas Program contributes to climate resilience, environmental sustainability, and improved livelihoods for rural communities.
