🇧🇩 Rangpur Division (8 districts): Rangpur, Dinajpur, Panchagarh, Thakurgaon, Lalmonirhat, Nilphamari, Kurigram, and Gaibandha; Rajshahi Division (8 districts): Chapai Nawabganj, Rajshahi, Natore, Naogaon, Joypurhat, Pabna, Bogura, and Sirajganj

The project aims to establish biogas plant apprx. 100,000m3 over a 10 years of period, capturing an average of 6.18,675 tonnes CO₂ per annum.

The project will focus on transforming livestock waste into a sustainable energy source, addressing both environmental concerns and rural energy needs. One of the core strategies is to bring existing biogas plants under carbon credit initiatives, allowing rural farmers and communities to monetize waste management efforts while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 

In addition, the project will develop new biogas plants where necessary, ensuring that livestock waste is efficiently utilized to generate clean and renewable energy. This initiative not only enhances energy security but also significantly reduces the reliance on traditional biomass fuels, such as firewood, which contribute to deforestation and indoor air pollution. Project aim to onboard nearly 130,000 cubic meter of biogas plant across the region.

• Small site: 2 cm to 5 cm; Quantity: 50,000 pcs
• Medium site: 5 cm to 40 cm; Quantity: 20,000 pcs
• Large site: 50 cm to 100 cm; Quantity: 1000 pcs

To further optimize resource utilization, the project will focus on revitalizing dilapidated or abandoned biogas plants, making them functional again and improving their operational efficiency. By tracking methane emissions and converting them into carbon credits through biogas production, the project aligns with global carbon reduction strategies. A key aspect of the initiative includes recording GPS locations of all biogas plants, ensuring transparency, accurate monitoring, and verification of emission reductions under the carbon credit framework.

The adoption of biogas technology will significantly improve the cooking environment in rural households by lowering emissions, leading to better air quality and reduced exposure to harmful smoke, particularly benefiting women who spend extended hours in traditional kitchens. The reduction in indoor air pollution is expected to mitigate cooking-related health hazards, such as respiratory diseases and eye irritation, ultimately enhancing the overall well-being of rural families.

Moreover, the project will promote sustainable livelihood opportunities by integrating smart livestock management with biogas production, enabling smallholder farmers to generate additional income through carbon credits while adopting eco-friendly farming practices. This initiative fosters economic empowerment and enhances community resilience by providing affordable and sustainable energy solutions, reducing dependency on expensive and polluting energy sources. By implementing waste-to-energy solutions, the project not only mitigates climate change impacts but also contributes to a more sustainable and healthier rural ecosystem.
