Gober gas (also spelt as "Gobar gas", from the Hindi word "gober" for cow dung) is biogas generated out of cow dung. In India, gober gas is generated using countless household micro plants (an estimated more than 2 million). In Pakistan the concept is also quickly growing. The Government of Pakistan provides 50% funds for the construction of moveable gas chamber biogas plants[citation needed]. The gober gas plant is an airtight circular pit made of concrete with a pipe connection. The manure is directed to the pit, usually directly from the cattle shed. The pit is then filled with a required quantity of water or wastewater. The gas pipe is connected to the kitchen fire place through control valves. The flammable methane gas generated out of this is largely odourless and smokeless. The residue left after the extraction of the gas is used as fertiliser. Owing to its simplicity in implementation and use of cheap raw materials in the villages, it is often quoted as one of the most environmentally sound energy source for the rural needs.
