The Sichuan Household Biogas Programme has provided almost 400,000 poor rural households in China’s Sichuan province with proven biogas digesters for animal manure treatment and with easy-to-use biogas cook stoves to replace coal and firewood. In doing so, it saves enormous amounts of GHG emissions, promotes local sustainable development and improves the living conditions of smallholder families in many ways.
