The integration of biogas technology into the daily lives of families, particularly within their established routines, is essential for its success. This chapter presents an analysis of how households adapt their patterns to fully incorporate biogas technology into their everyday activities. It also examines the actual experiences of families with this integration and its subsequent impact on their lives. Biogas technology can seamlessly fit into family life when it aligns with the established routines and long-standing habits that family members have cultivated. Changes in the spatial organization of homes and the reallocation of time reflect how users’ perceptions of past realities interact with the introduction of this new household technology. Moreover, the integration process is closely linked to pre-existing consumption behaviors that are culturally ingrained within the home. These findings support the assertion made by consumption scholars that renewable energy practices can extend beyond the religious and cultural frameworks of a society, influencing its utilization on a broader social level. In this chapter, the domestication framework of integration and conversion elucidates how technology becomes extensively woven into the fabric of society.
