Why should the government of Nepal encourage to use the bio gas.

Nepal is an agricultural country. Almost 90% people depend on the agriculture and bio gas is also a product of agriculture. Thus the government of Nepal should encourage Nepali citizens to us Bio gas.

Some of the main reasons are : 

1. bio gas is renewable source of energy and cheap.
2. after using bio gas , farmer can make good manure.
3. Nepal can conserve its biodiversity by reducing the energy source like wood. 
4. There is no source for coal and mineral fuel in Nepal so Nepal can reduce its import from neighboring countries. 

The Government of Nepal with SNV Nepal's support initiated the Biogas Support Programme in 1992. BSP-N was established in 2003 through the support of SNV and strengthened to further develop and disseminate the use of biogas as a low cost and sustainable energy source in rural Nepal.

Biogas is a form of clean cooking mechanism, an eco-friendly sustainable source of renewable energy, economically and environmentally compatible to use.  It is produced out of organic waste and can be used for multiple purposes i.e. thermal, electric etc. The slurry that the biogas system produces is a convenient source of organic fertilizer which is a key factor on multiplying the agro-productions maintaining the environmental sustainability. The Biogas technology has a key role on generating green jobs in a large numbers (at around 13000) in Nepal. Most of the villages (more than 2800, out of the total: 3915) of all 75 districts of Nepal have biogas installed. Studies have shown that, along with the biogas installation, the situation of health and sanitation is being gradually enhanced; deforestation (for the cause of firewood) is being curbed in Nepal. The technology is being concerned on caste and ethnicity, gender etc. issues to make the sector more inclusive, participative, decentralized and balanced.

Waste to Energy (W2E) as a form of biogas system is an large energy project newly adopted in Nepal. This system is based on the large amount of organic waste produced out of private as well as public organizations, business complexes etc. Primarily, this project is affixed with an aim of other thermal usage of biogas and electrification.
