Installation of Household Biogas plants in Punjab - 1

The project activity aims to replace the commonly used inefficient wood fired mud stove technology, with efficient biogas based cook stove, which is clean and sustainable. The project activity involves bundling household biogas plants located in the state of Punjab, India with varying capacities – 4m3 and 6m3. The proposed project activity includes 6,468 digesters which were implemented between 15 November, 2020 and 02 February, 2021. Each household will utilize the dung of its cows to feed the digester for the production of biogas for domestic purposes. The generated biogas from the plants to be used for the purpose of cooking and other thermal energy needs in households. The thermal energy generated from the project activity replaces the equal amount of thermal energy which otherwise would have been supplied from the woody biomass (fire-wood) based stove technology. Therefore, the project activity replaces firewood for equal thermal energy needs and thereby reduces harmful greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In addition, the hygienic conditions in the rural areas will be improved by an appropriate disposal of waste. Further, residue from the bio digesters is used as organic fertilizer and will improve soil conditions in rural areas. Project Scenario: The project activity involves bundling of 6,468 household biogas plants located in the state of Punjab, India with varying capacities – 4m3 and 6m3. The project development is performed & maintained by Dhaneshwari Mahila Sewa Sansthan and its supported NGOs. Project activity involves installation of new biogas plant in the households of Punjab and produced biogas will be used in the biogas stoves for thermal energy needs. Hence, the project activity is a Greenfield project activity. The size of the bio digesters varies, depending on the number of people and number of cattle available per household. Residues from the bio digesters are used as organic fertilizer in the garden area and fields of the local people. Project activity will result in average saving of 33,001 tCO2e/year.
