Energy: Togo aims to install 5,000 biodigesters by 2030

Togo currently has 140 biodigesters, which turn organic waste into biogas and fertilizer, and plans to install 5,000 by 2030, pending funding. A delegation from the West and Central Africa Biodigester Alliance is in Lomé to support the country and review the organization’s 2026–2030 strategic plan, which targets 50,000 new installations across the subregion. In Kpalimé, the EcoFemmes project, launched in March 2026 and funded with more than 52 million CFA francs by the International Organisation of La Francophonie, plans to train and support 130 rural women in organic farming and biogas production. Expanding the sector will require financing, trained technicians, maintenance services and broader adoption.
