Quantitative data for biomass feedstock, AD product and process is not easily available for Bangladesh and the data that does exist is not reliable. Research conducted by Wilson et al., (2009) on ‘Building recycling rates through the informal sector’ found that quantitative data on this topic was scarce and not applicable to developing countries. The data for the study was obtained from organisations involved in biogas extension in Bangladesh, such as IDCOL (Infrastructure Development Company Limited) and Grameen Shakti (2005). The data was checked with experts working with organisations involved in biogas programmes in Bangladesh, such as BCSIR (Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research), BBDF (Bangladesh Biogas Development Foundation), DLS (Department of Livestock Service) and the Institute of Energy at Dhaka University.
