Top 10 Districts with Highest Distribution of Biogas Units in Nepal

Biogas is a type of clean cooking mechanism that is also a sustainable source of renewable energy that is both economically and environmentally friendly. It is made from organic waste and can be utilized for a variety of functions. The slurry produced by the biogas system is a convenient source of organic fertilizer, which is critical for growing agro-productions while maintaining environmental sustainability. In Nepal, biogas technology has played a critical role in creating a huge number of green jobs (about 13000). Biogas is implemented in the majority of villages (about 2800 out of 3915) across Nepal's 75 districts.According to studies, health and sanitation are steadily improving as a result of the biogas installation, and deforestation (for the purpose of firewood) is being reduced in Nepal. To make the industry more inclusive, participative, decentralized, and balanced, technology is being concerned with caste and ethnicity, gender, and other issues.
