But there is more
Mitigation Climate Change
Throughout its lifetime, each biogas digester reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 20 tons. With our targeted number of 1,000,000 digesters, that’s 20,000,000 tons of global warming CO2, half the annual CO2 emission of Switzerland!
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 carbon dioxide emissions by 20,000,000 tons! That’s half the annual CO2 emission of Switzerland!
- Project Location: Sichuan Province, China

- Number of currently supported Households: 395,435
- Targeted Number of Households: 1,000,000
- Current annual Emission Reduction: approx. 750,000 tCO2e
