Description
The use of biogas technology has a significant impact on women in terms of time savings. Measurement using the W+ Time method shows a net savings of 136 minutes or 2.26 hours of time per day saved for women who use biogas. The time savings occurred mainly from cooking for the family, cleaning utensils, water collection, firewood collection, and preparing organic manure from livestock. The percentage of change between baseline and measurement is – 31.12 %, demonstrating a decrease in women’s time spent on activities listed in the table above, as a result of the introduction of biogas. 1 W+ unit = 1 % change per woman; the number of W+ units generated is therefore = number of women x 31.12= 7200 x 31.12 = 224,064 units.
