A 2 cbm portable plant of HomeBiogas is rendered available at only Rs 59000/- (Nett) as against a similar sized RCC plant costing around Rs 82000 in Kathmandu, makes it facile for users hereon.The international price mentioned on our principals’ HomeBiogas.com page and reproduced on this site as well, has been brought down duly factoring all expenses until delivery for the convenience of our patrons. Our Principals’ page and site provide all references relevant for Nepal – however, only the price stands rationalized and improved for Nepal territory. Orders for 2 cbm plants in stock may be placed on +977-1-4422162 / +977-1-4417310 / +977-1-4418597; info@cleanenergynepal.org.

The 6 cbm plant shall be launched by around July/August 2019.

The Pay-Back of a 2 cbmHomeBiogas unit is understood to be tentatively as follows:

(Basis: ‘Per Year’)

1. Value of Biogas (up to 2 hours of cooking/day for a family) Assumption: Replacement Cost of 1 LPG Cylinder of LPG=Rs 1350. Value of Gas Cost Saved in one month (assumption: equivalent amount of biogas to 1 cylinder of LPG produced and used in 45 days)= Rs 900x12=10800
2. Organic Fertilizer (Depending on the input quantity varying between 2 to 6 kgs, the revenue would vary. Herein, assuming minimum 2 kgs of input and revenue accordingly. But in a 6kg input scenario the same would be 3 times, i.e., Rs 4500x12=54000). 2x25=50x30=1500x12=18000 on Minimum value.
3. Realization from sale of Solid Paste 500kgx20=10000
   
   Besides the above, there is a possibility of some exemption on the charges levied by the municipal corporation towards collection of waste from every household every month. This is to be pursued and whatever status firms up will be communicated to the end-users of the plant.
4. This works out as Rs 38800 on conservative numbers of realization value. Add to the price of a HomeBiogas unit an approximate interest cost of Rs 10000/annum on microfinance, the pay back is approximately 2 years. On a conservative count, we can say 2 to 3 years.
   
   However, for restaurants and other kinds of eating places like canteens, community kitchens etc where kitchen waste quantum is higher, the payback is much faster as the amount of organic fertilizer available each day is 6 Liters against a maximum input of 6 kgs of kitchen waste. The economics thus will be 6x25=150x30=4500x12=54000. We have taken an average of 3 different possibilities in terms of number of hours operated by the end-user – I.e., 2 hours, 90 minutes and 1 hour in which of the varied cases the output from HomeBiogas shall be 8.8 kwh, 6.6 kwh and 4.4 kwh, respectively.
   
   An attached sheet on calculations may also be referred to.
   
   The value of Biogas as per para 1 above and that of solid paste as per para 3 above remain the same at Rs 10800 and 10000, respectively. Add to theseRs 54000 and the sum is 74800.
   
   In this case the payback period is only 1 year as the cost i.e., Rs 59000 + Rs 10000 for interest make the costs add up to Rs 69000 against a revenue of 74800.
   
   Again, on a conservative count, we may peg the payback at 12 to 18 months.
   
   The payback of HomeBiogas 6.0 shall be even sooner. We are working on it and the details shall be available in due course. For those needing more no of hours of cooking and for more fertilizer output backed by higher feed-input, the 6.0 option is colossally more advantageous. Even the cost comparison between HBG 6.0 and an RCC structured unit will be more than the 25-30% difference in case of 2 cbm unit.
