Abstract

The study aims to assessing the role of biogas technology in saving biomass, mitigating green-house gases (GHG) emissions, and maintaining environmental sustainability in Aleta wondo woreda. The sample size, 196 households were selected and interviewed in systematic random sampling techniques. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logit with the aid of STATA. Adoption of biogas technology significantly determined by proximity to water, access to credit, cattle size, availability of trained mason, land size and annual income. On average 1066.80kg biomass and 25.2 liter kerosene reduced; 2160.93kg CO 2 equivalent GHG emissions to the atmosphere mitigated annually per adopter households in the study area.
