The most important component of the GHEL Sustainable Village Model is the Biogas program. The goal of the project is tackle the environmental and health issues caused by fuels and firewood burning for cooking. Biogas is bio-fuel that originates from the biological breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. In an average-sized village of 400 households and 2000 villagers and initial target of 100 biogas plants installation in each village could supply clean Biogas for cooking purposes. With a target of 25% annual incensement rate can cover entire village which will ensure within five years be free of health hazardous cooking practices. This will significantly decrease diseases related to indoor air population.
