Greetings Olimpio Mondlane,

A belated thank you for submitting your detailed proposal.

Would it be possible to have it translated into English? I ask because it will likely be difficult or impossible for the those judges to review and rate your proposal if it remains in Portuguese.

Regardless, your participation is much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Jeff Harti

Interesting idea. Make sure that the economics works, for the rural population and local governments etc. If subsidies are requires, certain political-economy issues may arise. The usage and maintenance of the facilities must be extremely foolproof and convenient. Alternative energy providers (who may get displaced by this new biogas source) must be take into account, so that they do not sabotage your project.

Dear Ridwan, 

Thanks for your contribution, that motivates me more.We have already done a lot of research on the viability of the project. All possible problems have already been analyzed in detail. The country's policies are also very favorable for such projects.

Dear Olimpio,

excellent proposal. My questions, in order to improve it, are: Have you considered a first small village as an example for the first months in order to have information on the social problems and juridical problems of the implementation of your project? Have you taking into consideration ignorance and laziness as factos for implementing the project? (people reject these projects just because the think about the possibility of incrementing illness when such a project might create benefits for them by saving money or they are not interesting in changing the cutting of trees vis a vis biodigestors because it is too complicated for them to understand the benefits).

Best

Sergio
