Hundreds of refugee camps around the world generate huge quantities of organic waste, which not only causes sanitary and environmental problems, but is also expensive to dispose of. HomeBiogas will be supplying biogas systems for the treatment of organic waste at refugee camps in Africa, after winning a recent UN tender. HomeBiogas developed innovative systems that treat organic waste on-site by converting it into renewable energy used for cooking or heating.

The UN's decision to implement these innovative systems in refugee camps is based on the fact that these systems treat waste in a sustainable way, and turn it into energy (bio-fertilizer and cooking gas) which will serve the refugees for cooking /heating /farming. In addition, the systems are built for remote areas and work well in extreme conditions. By converting organic waste into renewable energy on-site, HomeBiogas systems divert waste from landfills, the leading source of methane emissions worldwide.

The 2021 UN Climate Change Report highlighted the need to control methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more harmful than Co2. Each HomeBiogas system saves over 6 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
