In a multiple response question, respondents were asked to mention the constraining factors towards biogas use adoption. The main factors mentioned were that the installation cost was too high (95.8%) and lack of credit facility (95%). Other reasons were lack of expertise (91.7%) and inadequate water (60%) to run the plants. Only a small proportion of 3.3% out of the 120 respondents said they do not need the facility. This may suggest that if the access to biogas is facilitated either through subsidy or access to credits many households in the district could adopt the technology. A comparison across the categories suggest that
respondents from the poor and less poor were more in demand for credits and also mentioned the facility to be too costly (Table 6), suggesting a different kind of approach to induce them adopt the technology.
