His paper, entitled "Fueling Development in Ghana with Biogas from Livestock Manure: An Exploratory Analysis of the Socioenvironmental Benefits Of Anaerobic Digestion", presents an analysis of how methane capture from animal manure can be a source of energy for development in Ghana. A multidisciplinary approach is taken to quantify how gender, health, environmental, and economic factors would be affected by methane capture. It finds that using energy from livestock manure can replace the current wood fuel consumption of 1.156 million Ghanaians and create positive knock-on socioenvironmental effects, such as reducing gender inequalities, illiteracy rates, the risk of illnesses from indoor air pollution, and deforestation.
