家用厕所连接的厌氧消化器(TLAD)将包括人类排泄物(HE)在内的有机废物回收成清洁的气体燃料和肥料产品。由于使用HE作为原料，社会文化阻力常常被用来解释当地对TLADS的阻力。然而，通过定性调查，利用对印度阿萨姆邦TLAD潜在用户的深入半结构化访谈，发现使用社会文化拒绝来描述对TLADS的抵制，使当地声音同质化，并将他们框定为对技术变革的抵制，同时忽视了群体内的多样性。这些叙述揭示了人们对多样性的抵制，并与个人的位置、个人和社会认同有关。对TLADS的抵制既是社会文化关切的结果，也是社会技术关切的结果，也有可能是可以商量的。可通过技术示范、社会团体采用和更大意识到的必要性等机会促进TLAD的采用。阿萨姆邦沼气实施方案的低效可能被忽视，因为太多的注意力放在家庭决策上，并在全州推广社会文化阻力。如果要在阿萨姆邦传播TLADS，当局必须与社区和沼气方案的员工合作，更广泛地重新谈判围绕高等教育作为资源而不是废物产品的社会规范。更广泛地说，阿萨姆邦的沼气方案没有有效地确定有家庭沼气需求和动机的家庭，我们建议重新评估利用当地联系人来确定有资格获得国家补贴的家庭以及偏向拥有大量牛的家庭。
Domestic toilet-linked anaerobic digesters (TLADs) recycle organic waste materials, including human excreta (HE), into a clean gaseous fuel and fertiliser product. Socio-cultural resistance is often used to explain local resistance towards TLADs due to the use of HE as a feedstock. However, through qualitative investigation utilising in-depth semi-structured interviews with potential TLAD users in Assam, India, the use of socio-cultural rejection to describe resistance towards TLADs was found to have homogenised local voices and framed them as resistant to technological change whilst ignoring diversity within groups. The narratives revealed resistance to be diverse and related to an individual's place, personal and social identity. Resistance to TLADs results from both socio-cultural as well as socio-technical concerns and is also potentially negotiable. Adoption of TLADs could be facilitated through opportunities such as technology demonstration, social group adoption and a greater perceived necessity. Inefficiencies in Assam's biogas implementation programme have been potentially overlooked due to too much attention being placed on household decision making and generalising socio-cultural resistance across the state. If TLADs are to be disseminated within Assam, authorities must work with communities and employees of the biogas programme to more widely renegotiate social norms around HE as a resource and not a waste product. More generally Assam's biogas programme is ineffectively identifying households with a need and motivation for domestic biogas and we recommend revaluating the use of local contacts to identify households eligible for the national subsidy as well as the bias towards households with large numbers of cattle.
