Yuqing Rural Methane Digesters Project in Guizhou Province.
The Yuqing Rural Methane Digesters Project in Guizhou Province, China, involves the construction of 18,551 biogas digesters in rural households, benefiting 18,551 farmers across 10 townships. Each digester, with a capacity of 8m³, is designed to manage the manure produced by an average of 4.5 pigs per household, facilitating anaerobic digestion to generate biogas for heating purposes. This initiative not only enhances energy self-sufficiency for these households but also promotes sustainable waste management practices. By coordinating the distribution of Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) revenue through the Guizhou Honor Carbon Asset Management Co., Ltd, the project ensures equitable benefits for all participants. Overall, it aims to foster economic and environmental sustainability within the local agricultural community.

Project Overview
Yuqing Rural Methane Digesters Project in Guizhou Province Yuqing (here after referred as „the proposed project‟) is located in Yuqing County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, P .R. China. and the annual average temperature is 16.2℃ 1 . In the proposed project 18,5512 biogas digesters have been constructed in 18,551 peasant households of 10 townships3 . The owners of the digesters are 18,551 farmers who construct the biogas digesters. But because the number is large and the owners are scatter, Guizhou Honor Carbon Asset Management Co., Ltd, which is authorized by the owners will execute the corresponding value of distributing VERs revenue on behalf of all peasant households. The proposed project aims to help farmers to build methane digesters where organic matter including manure and wastes are decayed an aerobically. According to the investigation report of on rural biogas methane project in Yuqing County4 , there are 4.5 pigs in every peasant household averagely and a standard biogas digester with a volume of 8m3 5 is constructed. The anaerobic digester with a capacity of 8m3 can fully handle the manure of these pigs and to collect biogas generated during the treatment process for heat supply, which meets the thermal demands of the households themselves by using the biogas stove with rated power 2.33kW 6 each unit.
