Projektdetails

The research carried out by the six students from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and technology in Ghana aims to build and test an intelligent system for biogas monitoring including the development of an app as an interface for the user. This would track and notify digester operators of the process parameters and conditions to improve the biogas digester's efficiency and life span. The particularity of this research is to make this technology and solution applicable for small scale biogas plants and affordable for small scale farmers. In the event of positive results, this team of students is also keen on figuring out what business model they could build around this solution as it will bring this technology to rural areas.
