SNV Netherlands Development Organisation estimates that the number of households qualifying for digesters in Africa amounted to 32.9 million in 2018 , yet the number of installed bio-digesters is less than 1% of that. The two main drivers for the technical potential for household bio-digester are the number of cattle (at least 3 heads) on-yard and the number of agricultural households having access to water. Biogas in Africa is produced mostly from agricultural waste and human excrement in urban settings since livestock waste and agricultural residues are hard to collect from widespread grazing lands. In particular, livestock, agricultural and horticultural production sites can offer scaling opportunities for biogas feedstock. Alternatively, lower-cost small-scale digesters and other models may make rural biogas production more practical. Even though biogas systems in Africa have high upfront costs of USD 500 to USD 1,500, they are cost effective. For instance, lifetime costs are the lowest among cooking technology options, which makes them competitive .
