A WWF Nepal climate protection project is treading new ground in the Nepalese lowlands. In order to protect local ecosystems, 7,500 small biogas plants are being constructed and installed for farmers and their families, reducing the demand for non-sustainable firewood and diminishing carbon emissions as a consequence of deforestation. One plant can deliver sufficient cooking energy for a family with at least two cows or buffaloes.
Type of energy: Biogas
Project scale: 7500 household biogas units
Project investment: 2.2 million euros
CO2 savings: 30,000 tonnes

DW-TV, Germany's international broadcaster, featured the Project under its Global Ideas - Ideas for a Cooler World programme. Watch the film by Wolfgang Bernert, which showcases how biogas plants are helping to reduce the demand for non-sustainable firewood and diminishing carbon emissions as a consequence of deforestation.
