It may be hard to imagine but did you know that something useful could actually be derived from human waste? As stinky as it is, human waste is a viable energy option whose surface Kenyans have barely scratched. Like cow dung, it readily forms Biogas, a renewable source of energy which can solve your energy problems. And as our senior reporter Slvia Chebet reports, this untapped potential could save you the trouble caused by the current energy crisis in the country.

  • @LUK0BA The project is very complicated and 90k usd is a fair cost. The university is vast, you need to buy special delivery pipes from the different toilets at the site, and deliver the faeces to the biodigestor, also u have to invest in water filteration systems so that you use the liquid waste for farming purposes, it is a complex project not like a private farm.

  • I was looking on the web for idea like this to be implemented in Kenya. So it was a pleasant surprise to find already a working idea. The only other issue that might cause concern is the cost of the project in the university, Kshs 9000000 that is about $ 90000 US dollars, that is too high. All you need is cement which is right now $100 per tonne. In other word this thing shouldn't cost more than one bedroom apartment to build even in an institution like university with 5000 students.

  • I commend them for being forward thinking. They have found solutions for the everyday problems that Africans face in their day to day lives. Such ingenious solutions to problem sthat plagues most slums in Africa. This technology just needs start up capital and it is not capital intensive. The waste is always there, so you dont have to import any thing. Good luck to them.

  • good luck kenya
