Abstract: Plans for the implementation of a national domestic biogas programme in Kenya began on 23rd May 2007, when a number of stakeholders met and founded the Kenya Biogas Task Force. The spirit of this Kenyan initiative resulted from the May 2007 Biogas for Better Life Conference. Representatives from 27 countries in Africa met in Nairobi to formally discuss how to carry forward the objectives of an Africa?wide biogas initiative with the support of the Directorate General for International Cooperation (DGIS) under the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On 25th June 2008, the Kenya Biogas Task Force reconstituted into the current broad based Kenya National Biogas Initiative Committee (KENBIC), chaired by Kenya?s Ministry of Energy (MoE). It?s main objective is realisation of a national biogas programme for Kenya.
