A researcher at the University of Africa Toru-Orua has developed a prototype BioGas plant that converts waste into methane gas for cooking. The project, funded by the Bayelsa State Education Development Trust Fund (BYEDTF), offers a potential solution to waste management and the rising cost of cooking gas.
Dr. Faith Ogbole demonstrated the plant’s functionality, explaining that it utilizes various waste materials, including plantain peels, animal dung, and grasses. The gas produced is purified and can be used for cooking. Ogbole highlighted the project’s potential for job creation and environmental improvement.
BYEDTF officials, including Acting Chairman Prof. Francis Sikoki, visited the university to inspect the project. Sikoki commended the research and emphasized the fund’s commitment to supporting commercially viable projects. The team also reviewed other BYEDTF-funded projects, including a larvae project and a cyanide separation initiative.
