[edit] Overview

Household toilet can be connected to a biogas digester. These toilet systems can turn human waste into biogas.

[edit] Types of Toilets

At least two types of toilets can be connected:

pit latrine type without water flush
pit latrine type with manual 1litre flush

[edit] Impacts

Access to modern energy: The toilet is connected to an anaerobic digesters which produces biogas that can be used for lighting, cooking and generating electricity.
Fuel switching: Substitution of unsustainably harvested biomass and maintenance of forest habitat, with associated biodiversity benefits and local benefits to soil stability and to the dry season stream flows in the region^[1].
Time saving: Rural women expend a substantial portion of each day gathering fuel wood and cooking
meals.
Productivity: The residue of the process, bio-slurry, can be easily collected and used as a potent organic fertiliser to enhance agricultural productivity^[1].
Health: Connecting biogas digesters to lavatories contributes to improving hygiene and sanitation practices, and the use of biogas for cooking results in a smoke-free indoor environment. ^[1]
