The “101 Biodigesters Program for Rural Areas” aims to benefit more than 100 rural producers in Cape Verde with the installation of biogas! In Cape Verde, 51% of households in rural areas use firewood for cooking and 49% use butane gas. The objective of this initiative is to provide families with the possibility of producing their own gas through small biodigesters using animal waste and organic matter. In this way, butane gas and firewood would be replaced by another source of energy, more socially and environmentally sustainable, and even enabling small agro-food processing activities in rural areas. The first biogas installation was successfully implemented in Ribeira de Vinha in São Vicente and allowed the owner to replace butane gas with biogas, which is cheaper and more ecological.
