BIOGAS LABORATORY
Biogas laboratory anchors the information center which have been setup to support the biogas industry and also serve as a repository of information on best practices in biogas technology in the country. The laboratory and the information Centre are geared towards improving awareness, filling the knowledge gaps as well as building capacity in the biogas sector.
