It supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, enhancing energy access, and promoting circular economies. The biogas demonstration plant at Uganda Christian University (UCU) exemplifies how localised efforts can advance these goals, encouraging community engagement and amplifying global impact.
