This followed a successful one-week visit in early June 2025 by representatives of Kenyan biogas companies and researchers from the Technical University of Kenya (TU-K), a project partner, to THI and Bavarian biogas companies including Snowleopard, Agrikomp, and BioIN GmbH.<\/p>\n<h3>Cooperation article on biogas systems<\/h3>\n<p>During his visit, Joshua met with project partners at TU-K, where they discussed and developed a plan for a joint review article on biogas systems in Kenya. This review will serve as a key foundation for future research and collaboration opportunities between TU-K and THI, as well as German and Kenyan biogas companies.<\/p>\n<h3>Visit to Biogas International<\/h3>\n<p>The project team from TU-K and THI also visited Biogas International, a BIOVARYA partner and distributor of flexi-biogas systems. At their site, they observed experimental tests and model farms designed to evaluate different feedstocks and applications of biogas and digestate. The visit identified several potential areas of collaboration between Biogas International and the research institutions, underscoring the need for a structured MoU between TU-K and the company to formalize their partnership.<\/p>\n<h3>Talks with Greenleaf Renewable Energy Ltd.<\/h3>\n<p>In addition, discussions were held with Greenleaf Renewable Energy Ltd, another BIOVARYA partner that installs and equips domestic fixed-dome biogas systems. Talks focused on extending and strengthening collaboration through both research and consultancy.<\/p>\n<h3>Future outlook<\/h3>\n<p>With this strengthened collaboration and exchange, both universities and industry partners can now identify areas of cooperation, learn from each other\u2019s experiences, and explore opportunities for business collaboration and technology exchange.<br \/>\n<div id='av-masonry-1' class='av-masonry av-a0a4u-3e1053f54a78828c28d2bc2e5d1fbeb0 noHover av-fixed-size av-1px-gap av-hover-overlay- av-masonry-animation-active av-masonry-col-2 av-caption-always av-caption-style- av-masonry-gallery av-mini-columns-overwrite av-mini-columns-2 ' data-post_id=\"848\"><div class=\"av-masonry-container isotope av-js-disabled\"><div class='av-masonry-entry isotope-item av-masonry-item-no-image '><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Research-Stay1-1030x464.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Research-Stay1-1030x464.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Research-Stay1-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Research-Stay1-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Research-Stay1-705x317.jpg 705w, https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Research-Stay1.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\"  aria-label=\"image Research-Stay1\"  id='av-masonry-1-item-849' data-av-masonry-item='849' class='av-masonry-entry isotope-item post-849 attachment type-attachment status-inherit hentry  av-masonry-item-with-image' title=\"Research-Stay1\" alt=\"Technical exchange during the research stay in Kenya\"    itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" ><div class='av-inner-masonry-sizer'><\/div><figure class='av-inner-masonry main_color'><div class=\"av-masonry-outerimage-container\"><div class='av-masonry-image-container lazyload' style=\"background-image:inherit;\"  title=\"Research-Stay1\"  data-bg-image=\"url(https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Research-Stay1-705x317.jpg)\"><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/a><!--end av-masonry entry--><a href=\"https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/research-Stay2-1030x687.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/research-Stay2-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/research-Stay2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/research-Stay2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/research-Stay2-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/research-Stay2.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\"  aria-label=\"image research-Stay2\"  id='av-masonry-1-item-850' data-av-masonry-item='850' class='av-masonry-entry isotope-item post-850 attachment type-attachment status-inherit hentry  av-masonry-item-with-image' title=\"research-Stay2\" alt=\"Lectures during the research stay in Kenya\"    itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" ><div class='av-inner-masonry-sizer'><\/div><figure class='av-inner-masonry main_color'><div class=\"av-masonry-outerimage-container\"><div class='av-masonry-image-container lazyload' style=\"background-image:inherit;\"  title=\"research-Stay2\"  data-bg-image=\"url(https:\/\/biogas-network.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/research-Stay2-705x470.jpg)\"><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/a><!--end av-masonry entry--><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BIOVARYA project continues exchange with research visit to Kenya The BIOVARYA project reached an important milestone in August 2025 when Joshua Ngetuny completed a 10-day research visit to Kenya.
