Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: : The purposes of this research article aims to 1) present an appropriate form of biogas technology production from livestock manure for small scale farmers and 2) investigate farmers ’ perception of biogas technology characteristics for an appropriate technology adoption decision. Findings showed that, the balloon biogas technology from livestock manure was an appropriate technology for this community. That employs a large bag made from PVC plastics to collect and siphon gas material. It was suitable for small scale farmer, relatively low labor-intensive and cheap to construct and operate.
