Using Agricultural Waste for Biogas Production as a Sustainable Energy Supply for Developing Countries

The paper focuses on the research, development, and application of simple, reliable, efficient, and low maintenance technology for the production of biogas from local organic agricultural wastes in the Republic of Togo. This technology is intended as a sustainable decentralised energy supply, which...
