Biogas and water source Project
The Project proposal includes two main activities 1) Bio gas for cooking as a demonstration Project and 2) drinking water source and Irrigation.
The main aim of Proposed" Bio gas for cooking" is to demonstrate the way on how to utilize manure from livestock to generate household energy at the Pemathang Gewog under S/Jongkhar Dzongkhag where livestock practice is main activity of the farmers. on the other hands the majority of the farmers are depended on nthe fossil fuel (forest firewood) for cooking and heating where by pressurizing the scarce forest in the region. some of the villages still use kerosene for lighting.Both the fossil fuels are potential co2 emitter to atmosphere.
The Project will try to reduce the Co2 from fossil fuels, which will be replaced and the management of cow dung and other swine fuel will avoid methane (CH4) gas emissions. Thus the Project activity will contribute to the reduction of Green House Gas (GHG) emission in its small way.
The present Project activity will based in Bio-systems comprising bio-dig esters in which the manure will be digested and methane produced. The fuel gas produced from manure fermentation inside the bio-digesters will be pipe lined to household kitchens and living houses for cooking through gas stoves. The Project will serve 10 rural small farmers and each bio- digester will serve around 5-10 animals. The Biogas produced will be used as fuel for house hold energy needs while the sludge is to be used as fertilizer in household farming fields increasing the income of the community.
The Project will encourage and motivate each farmer in the gewog and in the region as whole to make use of the bio fuel of fossil in near future thereby, reducing the pressure on limited forest resources.
