Musami School turns biogas by-product into fertiliser

A high school in Murehwa is exploring an innovative way to turn waste into wealth by commercialising liquid organic fertiliser derived from its biogas system.

St Paul’s Musami Mission High School is assessing the viability of producing and selling fertiliser from slurry generated by a biogas digester installed at the institution.

The project follows the installation of a 50-cubic-metre digester by the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), aimed at cutting electricity costs through alternative energy for cooking and water heating.
