GEIST

GEIST organised a 4-day Bioenergy/Biogas conference in Nairobi together with EAFF and KNFJKA on March 14 in Nairobi. The focus of the conference was to discuss on how biogas technology can be used to maintain soil fertilty by  recycling human manure and organic waste, create new job opportunities for farmers, produce cooking fuel, electricity and vehicle fuel  and create a new future for people living in slum areas. How stand alone systems for electricity production  with biogas, wind and solar energy can become an sustainable alternative to the  GIBE 3 dam project was also highlighted. You will find more information under ‘Events’ and this link: Bioenergy Conference/Workshop report
