BRT Popularization Series - Sustainable Development in Ethiopia: Biogas Solutions for Energy Challenges

The young researchers of the Biogas Research Team (BRT) are diligently working to increase the visibility of the success and potential of bioenergy sources across the globe. From Indonesia to Vietnam to Ethiopia and beyond, their efforts to highlight the impact and importance of incorporating renewable energy technologies are creating change worldwide. 

With this popularization series, we aim to showcase the impact of our research on renewable energy in strategic countries around the globe.

The adoption of small-scale biogas technology in Ethiopia holds significant promise for advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while addressing the country's pressing energy and environmental challenges. Ethiopia faces a critical need for sustainable development inputs across various sectors. Despite its abundance of natural resources, including fertile land and favorable climatic conditions, much of these resources remain untapped and underutilized. 

  

Recognizing the need for sustainable energy solutions, Ethiopia has initiated efforts to transition towards green and modern energy sources. Biogas technology presents a viable solution, however, the widespread adoption of biogas technology in Ethiopia remains limited. To address this gap, BRT PhD student Tewodros Tarekegn Lapiso, is assessing the constraints and challenges hindering the dissemination of small-scale biogas plants in Ethiopia. By aligning with the countries SDGs and the circular economy framework, his research seeks to provide recommendations for overcoming barriers to adoption and maximizing the technology's contributions to sustainable development.
