Under the proposed Project activity, Helvetas through its local partners is to establish around 3,000 biogas digesters in India’s Terai Arc Landscape area. The objective of this Project is to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by displacing the conventionally used fuel sources, such as fuel wood, for cooking and generate Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) from the Project.
The Project is to be implemented as a small-scale Project (limit 60,000 ERs/year) under the Gold Standard (GS).
The capacity of the units to be installed in the household varies from 1 – 3cu m and will be decided based on the number of members and the number of the cattle they own.
