But there is more
Mitigation Climate Change
Throughout its lifetime, each biogas digester reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 20 tons. The approximately 400,000 biogas digesters included in the program to date reduce GHG emissions by about 725,000 tCO2e per year and by 14.5 million tCO2e over the typical 20-year lifetime of a digester. This reduction is nearly double Luxembourg's total annual GHG emissions in 2023.
Improving Rural Lives
Installing biogas digesters greatly improves the living conditions of the households by reducing indoor-air pollution, offering better sanitation and reducing the smell of an open manure pit.
A Sustainable Future
Using clean energy like biogas for cooking instead of coal and firewood has many advantages for the participating households: it is for free, it doesn’t need to be collected or purchased and it provides high-quality fertilizer thus contributing to better harvest!

About the Project
By reducing carbon dioxide emissions, mitigating climate change and improving the local living conditions of the poorest people in Sichuan, the programme raises money to provide an additional income to the households and free technical support.
The programme creates jobs, reduces indoor air pollution, provides clean & convenient fuel and makes sure that the digesters are maintained and operated well.
The project reduces GHG emissions by 14,500,000 tons! That’s nearly twice the annual GHG emissions of Luxembourg!
- Project Location: Sichuan Province, China
- Programme Standard: CDM, Gold Standard
- Number of currently supported Households: 395,435
- Targeted Number of Households: 1,000,000
- Current annual Emission Reduction: approx. 750,000 tCO2e
