This experimental paper develops a low-cost biodigester using cow dung in Nigeria. A 60L anaerobic unit is tested for biogas yield, temperature, combustion, and methane content. Data shows peak yield on day 11 and 65% methane. The setup uses local materials and targets rural cooking and energy access. Limitations include feedstock variability and small-scale design constraints. The authors explore biogas monetization, job creation, and waste-to-energy scaling opportunities. Policy gaps and implementation hurdles are discussed with recommendations.
