Toward Household Biogas Technology
摘要
Biogas technology in households encompasses both cultural and technical realities that require thoughtful perspectives for understanding its sustainable appropriation. However, socio-technical theories that explain the acceptance of biogas at local, regional, and national levels have received limited attention. To address this gap, this chapter argues that collective norms, cultural practices, the roles of social institutions, shared expectations, and the broader institutional context—such as climate change—are equally instrumental in the development of biogas technology. Here, the sustainability of biogas technology is conceptualized as a co-production process between cultural dynamics and technological knowledge. In a broader context, there exists a climate change mitigation strategy that facilitates the widespread adoption of biogas at regional and local levels.
