Biogas för jordbruksproduktion & Hushåll energi

Objectif officiel

SNV has applied to Sida for funding of 43.9 MSEK to support establishing of a commercially viable biogas sector in Zambia. The following are the intended outcome of the intervention; 1. Increased income levels for farmers through increased milk production from biogas milk storage facilities, improved yields from the use of bio slurry and improved livestock farming through use of biogas powered incubators. 2. Improved cooking environment by substituting characoal/firewood with biogas. The charcoal/firewood produces harmful gases which mostly affects the health of women and children. 3. Sustainable use of natural resources through substitution of charcoal/firewood ( which contributes to deforestation) with biogas for cooking. The intervention targets to solve the problem of lack of access to modern energy services in the rural areas of Zambia where less than 5% of the population have access to electricity. Due to the vastness of the country and the sparse settlements, it is very expensive to extend the grid to the rural areas. Offgrid solutions such as biogas should therefore be explored as an option for providing access to electricity for rural dwellers. The challenge for the dairy farmers is that they need to milk their animals twice in a day. They are able to sell the milk obtained in the morning because the milk buyers collect in the morning. However, the evening milk which accounts for 50% of their production is not sold because they have to keep their milk overnight but due to lack of milk chilling facilities turns into sour by the morning.SNV is proposing to promote the installation of biodigesters together with biogas milk chillers which the dairy farmers can use to keep their milk overnight. In this way, the farmers will be able to double their income from the milk sales. In addition SNV is also promoting the use of biogas powered incubators to help the farmers provide the heat required for their livestock businesses. The bioslurry, which is a by product of the organic matter fermentation process is a potent organic fertiliser which SNV also intends to promote for farmers to use in their fields. The interventions total budget is 43.9 MSEK entirely financed by sida. The intervention will also have a guarantee component which will be cofinanced by sida and USAID on a 50% basis.The guarantee amount of about 4m USD is meant to motivate banks to lend to small scale farmers for purchase of renewable energy technologies such as bio-digesters. The intervention will contribute to the following results in Result Area 2 of the strategy: 1. Increased number of productive jobs, particularly for women and young people, with the ambition that Sweden will contribute to at least 120 000 people having productive work in the agricultural sector. 2. Increased access to secure and sustainable energy for households, public services and businesses. 3. Increased access to financial services for small-scale farmers, entrepreneurs and businesses, with the ambition
