Conservation measures and experimental setup
Experimental setup
A biogas plant is set up to supply gas to a family or cluster of families. It is then fed with cow dung on a regular basis to keep the generated gas high. This gas is then used as fuel for the various energy-demanding operations of the pilot families (especially cooking). The control will be a family or cluster of families of the same socio-economic status, whose fuel wood usage/consumption would be monitored at the same timeframes as those using the biogas.
- WOCAT reference conservation measure (Qt reference): BOT 1
- WOCAT reference implementation approach (Qa reference): ?
Expected effects
Reduction in fuel wood dependency, fuel wood depletion and deforestation.
