Despite the huge potential of renewable energy especially biogas in Kenya, most renewable energy especially biogas systems technology market penetration is notably low and the existence of these technologies is rarely known by potential users. Therefore, this study sought to identify and analyze factors influencing biogas energy adoption and utilization in Kikuyu constituency, to establish how biogas energy production and use in Kikuyu constituency has influenced household energy supply and investigate the determinants of adoption of solar and biogas.
