Description

CHBIOGAS indicates whether the household uses biogas - a fuel produced by the fermentation of organic matter - for cooking and heating.

The information in CHBIOGAS is taken from the household record and applies to household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis and using the RESIDENT variable when women, children, and births are the unit of analysis.
