As parts of the Centre’s research focus in the management of waste through biogas technology, the Unit embarked on a design of a research project to manage biodegradable waste within the University of Benin, specifically in the Ugbowo campus.

A pilot scheme utilizing waste generated from students’ hostels, canteens and staff quarters for biogas. Nonetheless, the project is looking to generate biogas from biodegradable waste for either heating, cooking, or power production.

Essentially, the produced biogas will be transferred and stored in a surface-mounted horizontal cylindrical tank for possible utilization in a biogas-powered power generator.
