Household Biogas in Jammu and Punjab (HBJP)

Project Details

The project activity is targeting to bundle 8424 household biogas plants located in rural parts of Jammu and Punjab states of India commissioned from December 2020 to October 2021.The project biogas plants replace commonly used inefficient wood fired mud stoves thereby replacing firewood consumption. The household biogas plants utilize cattle dung in the digester for the production of biogas which is burnt in gas stoves for household cooking’s. This leads to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by displacing conventionally used non-renewable biomass with renewable biogas. In addition, the hygienic conditions in the rural areas will be improved by an appropriate disposal of waste. Further, residue from the bio digesters can be used as organic fertilizer and will improve soil fertility in rural areas.
