On October 28 and 29, the Asian Rural Institute hosted a biogas workshop led by Mr. Kuwabara, an engineer and organic farmer from Ogawa Town, Saitama. This session was a follow-up to the participants’ visit to Mr. Kuwabara’s farm in June, where they first explored biogas technology.
During the workshop, participants learned how livestock manure could be processed to generate renewable energy, offering a sustainable alternative for energy production. Mr. Kuwabara demonstrated the use of a plastic biogas chamber, explaining how the process also produces an organic liquid fertilizer, enhancing soil health while providing clean energy. Participants were enthusiastic about the workshop, appreciating the practical insights and hands-on experience with biogas technology.
