Less waste , More power

The effectiveness of the biogas project is dual in the sense that it has both environmental and social advantages or implications. We are able to recycle food that would otherwise be wasted in university canteens and reduce methane emissions since the food waste generated is converted into renewable energy. The goal of practicing a sustainable waste management system at the university is to take maximum advantage and make the people responsible to care about the waste they produce within the facility. Moreover, the biogas produced can be utilized as a clean energy source, reducing reliance on non renewable energy and lowering the university’s carbon footprint. This will set a precedent for similar waste to energy initiatives in other institutions, potentially influencing larger scale waste management reforms. The implementation of the system will offer educational opportunities, allowing students to engage with practical, environmentally focused solutions. Ultimately, our project promotes a circular economy model, where waste is transformed into valuable resources, contributing to a more sustainable future.
