BACKGROUND
Livestock waste / by-product is a potential source of domestic and
institutional energy, a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and
pollution of surface and ground water resources.
To reduce production of greenhouse gas and pollution from livestock by-
product, biogas production from this by-product is a better solution.
Biogas production from livestock by-product is on the rise in Kenya as a
way of improving access to power as well as reduction of power cost.
The College in partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum
(MoEP) are promoting use of green energy through the implementation of
a 120m3 biogas pilot project that utilizes cow-dung that is readily
available in the College.
Note: In Kenya we have; individual, communal and Institutional biogas
plants. Currently up to 2 MW plants are available and fed to the
National grid. Hence Bio-fuels production and utilization is on the rise.

Cost of lpg saved per day = KShs 4,445
Benefits from Biogas (A) = KShs 4,445
Per month KShs. 4,445x30 = KShs. 133, 350
![Page 18: ENERGY-AGRO-FOOD STAKEHOLDERS WORKSHOP · ENERGY-AGRO-FOOD STAKEHOLDERS WORKSHOP ENERGY_AGRO-FOOD Energy_Agro-food Synergies in Africa: New Models for African Universities Biogas](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052022/603760a4c3c74b306e3e6077/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. BIO-SLURRY (ORGANIC FERTILIZER)
18 Friday, 26 February 2016
Volume of slurry produced in a day =
(1,000X2) kg = 2,000
Price of artificial/chemical fertilizer = KShs
80/ kg.
Total savings on fertilizer cost assuming 50%
conversion efficiency = (0.5X2,000X80)=
KShs. 80,000.
Benefits from Bio-slurry (B) = KShs. 80,000
Benefits per Month:
30 x 80,000 = KShs. 2, 400, 000

CONCLUSION
Renewable energy potentials in Eastern African
are enormous in form of Biomass; Wind; Hydro;
Solar and Geothermal.
The potential are not highly exploited
Expansion and scaling up should be embraced
The pilot project shows that such sources of
energy are economically viable and should be
embraced.
