The study team attempted to examine if there was any correlation between the efficiency of biogas plant based
upon the actual gas being received as described in clause 5.2 and the level of users satisfaction as referred in the
above table. The outcome shows that there is no distinct relationship between these two. The results of the
analysis have been illustrated in the following table.

5.4 Sufficiency of Biogas
When asked about the sufficiency of biogas for cooking and lighting according to the need of family, most of
the respondents (91%) replied that gas was sufficient in the summer and insufficient in winter, especially for
four months, from Mangsir (November) to Falgun (February). When asked whether biogas was sufficient to
meet household demands, 91% of the users told that it was sufficient in summer and remaining 9% told it was
not sufficient. Only 49% of them told gas was sufficient even in winter and other 51% told that they usually had
insufficient gas during winter. The quantity of gas was told to be decreased considerably for four months, from
November to February. The following bar diagrams illustrate the details on this regard.
