Introduction of affordable biogas digesters in Chipinge

Introduction of affordable biogas  digesters in Chipinge

Communities in Chipinge have welcomed the introduction of low-cost, pre-fabricated biogas digesters, aligning with the government’s calls to adopt environmentally-friendly energy sources. The rural areas of Chipinge have witnessed a gradual uptake in the use of these digesters, harnessing the power of biogas for domestic purposes.

One such example is the case of Mr. Michael Chingwena and his wife, who have found that using biogas has significantly reduced their reliance on firewood. This transition not only addresses deforestation concerns in the region but also highlights the potential of biogas as a sustainable alternative energy source.

“We are now using biogas a shift from our traditional means of relying on firewood. The introduction of these low cost technology is facilitating a huge uptake of biogas. On top of this huge benefit we are also benefitting in the form of slug which we are using in our fields.”

“Gone are the days when we used to spend much of our productive time fetching firewood. This is helping a lot especially for the old age because it’s saving us a lot of time and at the same time enhancing field production through the use of liquid fertilisers.”

The net effect is a decline in the rampant cutting down of trees which was also contributing to increased flooding in the area.

“We are responding to the climate change gaps that we are facing as a nation in terms of promoting the use of green energy sources. We have introduced a low cost pre-fabricated biogas digester that uses cow dung and bio-waste. The idea is to minimise use of firewood that has been a major cause of soil erosion contributing to environmental degradation. We are happy with the uptake of the programme,” said Mr Ultimate Nyangove (Lanforce Energy).

Chipinge Meteorological Services department officer, Lydia Masengu said, “We are really encouraging our farming to form cooperatives and embrace this opportunity so that we adopt clean energy especially now at a time when we are faced with climate change effects such as drought, floods etc. Our farmers are also being saved in terms of costs of acquiring fertilisers.”

Zimbabwe is actively implementing various programs aimed at doubling its national energy output, improving regional energy security, and attracting investment opportunities under the Accelerated Partnership for Renewables in Africa (APRA).
