利用废物生产沼气一直被限制在少数原料，如牛粪和食物垃圾。增加沼气生产的原料基数能够增加原料供应的可持续性。本研究旨在评估与使用粪便（人类排泄物、牛粪等）作为能源相关的社会文化和可接受性问题在尼日利亚贝宁市选定的利益相关者地区。数据收集采用定性研究方法，通过调查问卷产生数据。利用因子分析对现场响应进行挖掘和分析，并利用社会科学统计程序对因子图生成的聚类图进行分析，以按层次均值对变量进行排序。本研究的分析表明，粪便废物是生产沼气的可靠原料，同时通过消化利用为粮食生产增加价值。此外，0.759的高因子负荷表明人们认识到粪便产生的沼气有可能改善贝宁市的环境卫生。然而，正如分析所显示的那样，存在相当大的知识差距，这表明需要不断提高认识，制定政策，并根据可持续发展目标2,6和7，在解决能源安全和可持续性问题方面，通过一系列原料生产沼气的重要性。
The use of wastes for biogas production has been restricted to few feedstock like cattle manure and food waste. Increasing the feedstock base for biogas production is capable of increasing the sustainability of feedstock availability. This study seeks to assess sociocultural and acceptability issues associated with the use of faecal waste (human excreta, cattle manure, etc.) as a source of energy in selected stakeholder areas in Benin City, Nigeria. Qualitative research methods were used for data collection as data were generated through survey questionnaire. Field responses were mined and analysed using Factor analysis and cluster plots generated from Factor plots were analysis using Statistical Program for Social Sciences to rank the variables in order of hierarchical means. Analyses from this study have shown that faecal waste is a dependable feedstock for biogas production while adding value to food production through digestate utilization. Furthermore, high factor loading of 0.759 for acceptance to the fact that biogas from faecal waste has the potential to improve environmental sanitation in Benin City. However, there exist considerable knowledge gap as shown in the analyses which suggest a need for continuous awareness creation, policy formulation and orientation on the importance of biogas production from a range of feedstock in tackling energy security and sustainability in line with SDGs 2, 6 and 7.
