Economic viability of biogas energy production from family-sized digesters in Uganda
Abstract
96 words
Biogas energy is being evaluated to augment traditional energy
sources in Uganda. However, its development remains
rudimentary partly because of the lack of information regarding
its economic viability. Based on primary data on households in
Central and Eastern Uganda and the use of three economic
decision criteria; Payback period, Net Present Value and Internal
Rate of Return, this study assessed the economic viability of
biogas energy production in Uganda. Empirical results showed
that biogas energy production was economically viable. Policy
options that could bolster the economic viability of biogas energy
production in Uganda have been highlighted.
