Between 2013 and 2015, SNV, a Dutch cooperation institution, built 164 biodigestors allowing households in up-country areas in Adamaoua (Northern Cameroon) to produce biogas from cow dung. These investments were made as part of the project "Domestic biogas in Cameroon", supported by the ministry of Energy and Water, we learn from official sources.

This project completed on 30th June 2013 made it possible to train 57 technicians in the use of biodigestors and involved 30,000 people in 200 villages in the Adamaoua region.

The positive fallouts of this project are such that, Fidèle Yobo, representative of SNV Cameroon claims "the Cameroonian government would gain a lot in seriously taking into consideration the popularization of biogas in its green energies policy".

Production of biogas remains indeed in its infancy in Cameroon. Apart from the above mentioned project, only Hygiène et salubrité du Cameroun (Hysacam), a company managing refuse collection contracts in the country, currently invests in biogas production initiatives thanks to the construction, in Douala and Yaoundé, of two catchment plants set near its landfill sites.
