Walewale Senior High Technical School has developed a biogas digester designed to support hydroponic farming while simultaneously generating renewable energy.

The system utilises organic waste to produce biogas, which can be used as a clean energy source, and nutrient-rich slurry to nourish crops grown without soil.

This innovation offers a dual benefit of sustainable waste management and enhanced agricultural productivity, particularly in communities with limited access to conventional farming resources.

The project was showcased at the zonal stage of the 6th edition of the Energy Commission’s Senior High Schools Renewable Energy Challenge, which promotes the creation of practical, eco-friendly solutions to address the nation’s energy and environmental needs.
