Lanforce Energy

Reducing Domestic Drudgery for Female Farmers

The project will install 619 biodigester units (incl. biogas cookstoves). 100 units will also be equipped with a smart meter to support remote monitoring. In addition, Lanforce Energy will pilot other productive uses of biogas through the distribution of 200 brooder heaters and 120 cooling appliances, unique for African markets where productive appliances for biogas have not been explored extensively by biodigester distributors to date.

Outcome and Impact

Lanforce Energy aims to sell 1,538 of its products, creating enhanced energy access for 2,476 people. On an annual basis, 7,297 tCO2e  will be reduced and 7,962 MWh of clean electricity will be generated. In addition, through the project, 12 temporary and 38 permanent jobs will be created, with 67% of leadership positions filled by women. Savings on energy-related expenditure is estimated to be EUR 5.1M.
