Biogas energy recovery in Diamaguene
"Waste to Energy", biogas energy recovery for the municipality through methanation.
Overview of the project
The municipality houses the greatest livestock market. More than 3000 bovines are held there every day, with, on the long run, an enormous production of cow dung and other issues: clandestine slaughterhouses, air pollution etc…
The municipality also shelters a large industrial area: the free-zone of Dakar. The main goal of this project is the implementation of a sound framework for economic and social activities within municipalities.
In addition to energy recovery from waste, which is the main aspect of the project, the development of a foirail and the creation of a mini-slaughterhouse are also included in this project.

Feasibility study, diagnosis
Launching of three studies:
1/ on the municipality’s waste situation.
2 / on socio-economic organisation of the foirail.
3/ on butane consumption in the municipality
The studies are carried on the fiels by the municipality’s students association. It is a participative approach, under the supervision of THECOGAS, a Senegalese firm specialized in waste management systems.
Approval and adoption of the project by the municipality council, with the adoption of an administrative act which recognise it as the municipality’s project.
We are still in a research phase for the development of the project. For the moment, actions based on volunteering are undertaken.
