2 SECTION A. Project Title Reactivating Dysfunctional Domestic Biogas Digesters in Yuxi City, Yunnan of China SECTION B. Project description Construction date of the project: 1 st July 2012 Weak management and short lifespan are the main problems of biogas digesters. The domestic biogas digester (below 12 m 3 ) is experiencing a high rate of dysfunction in China, although the total number has increased to 35.1 million digesters by the end of While statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture indicate a dysfunction rate of less than 8% by the end of 2009, a survey done by Yunnan Normal University in 2009 found that more than 50% of domestic biogas digesters in Yunnan province were dysfunctional. The major reason for the high dysfunction rate is lack of after-sale service system, accounting for 75%, followed by lack of labour and raw materials accounting for 5%. This situation will be more serious if no better solution is figured out. Meanwhile, performance improvements can be made through the endeavour on reactivation of dysfunctional biogas digesters and to improve the lifespan of digesters which can reach more 20 years. Considering the global climate change, and the large amount of carbon emissions of China, the recreation project is especially significant. This project firstly aims to innovate a new way to reactive dysfunctional biogas digesters and give the dysfunctional digesters an access to Carbon Finance in the whole provincial scale. Carbon finance will help to improve the whole biogas digester chain (motivating the working willingness of rural energy stations) and raise a market demand (training users to recognizing the significance of biogas use as well as the profits realization methods from biogas use) of post-installation service. Therefore, it will not increase the number of people that have a biogas digester but rather increase the time during which they will be able to use their biogas digesters. Besides, this project bases on existing biogas program and relies on existing biogas dissemination system, which makes it feasible and easier to integrate in existing national biogas program in the near future. Secondly, the project for a long-term aims to raise farmers awareness and understanding and promote them to take action to protect and make use of indigenous agro-knowledge and traditional farming technologies being friendly and ecological for climate and improving the capacity of farmers and countryside on mitigate and adapt climate change, so as to reduce the negative impacts. If only is implemented in Yuxi City, this program will reactive at least 50,000 dysfunctional biogas digesters, and realize 60,000 tons of CO 2 eq per year emission reduction. The project has been planned to be implemented in three phases: ~ : selected representative areas as pilot projects with local governments, 2

3 energy stations, farmers co-operation, planning to recreate 2,000 dysfunctional biogas digesters; ~ : an expansion of the scope of the project pilot completed 20,000 the digesters recreation tasks; and ~ : the accumulated size of the project expanded to 50,000. Yunnan Yuxi City is located in the central Yunnan Province. In the past 10 years, more than 20 million port biogas digesters have been built, with 264 service network in Yuxi region, which is one of the earliest cities developing biogas, with the most popular biogas utilization and the most perfect network. Therefore, the Project Coordination Leading Group decided to implement the project pilot in Yuxi region. For a more accurate & comprehensive understanding of the local biogas utilization and biogas construction, the better and faster implement of the project, providing theoretical support for the implementation of the digester rehabilitation scheme, we have completed the basic situation survey of biogas digesters in all the counties in Yuxi. The preliminary finding shows that: Yuxi region is suitable for the implementation as the project demonstration sites; finally we have initially identified Xinping County as the project pilot.

Does your project activity classify as an End-use Energy Efficiency Improvement project? Please justify the eligibility of your project activity: 1. Scale of project activity This is a large-scale domestic biogas digester project. The project will leverage carbon revenues over a 10-year period to initially reactivate dysfunctional domestic biogas digesters through capacity building and maintenance service chain establishment. The total number of dysfunctional biogas digesters in Yuxi City is around 50,000, which is our target. We plan to fulfill this target by It is expected to reactivate 2,000 biogas digesters in 2012, and then reactivate 5,000 more in 2013, 10,000 more in 2014, 13,000 more in 2015, and 20,000 more in 2016, with an accumulated amount of 50,000 by end of In this way, an estimated annual emission reduction of CO 2 is about 60,000 tons on the basis that reactivating each biogas digester will reduce 2 tons of CO 2 eq. 2. Host country or state The project s VER is hosted in China. According to GS methodology, any country can host a Gold Standard voluntary carbon project. Since China does not have a cap on GHG emissions in the residential sector, issued GS VERs do not need to be backed up by allowances or other denominated units reflecting emission reductions. 3.

10 SECTION E. Outcome stakeholder consultation process E.1. Assessment of stakeholder comments [See Toolkit Annex J] [See Local Stakeholder Consultation Report B.5 and insert table from ii Assessment of comments. Insert a summary of alterations based on comments] The LSC meeting started 8:30 am and lasted around 4 hours. We organized the meeting based on the Gold Standard s requirements. Through this meeting, we finished 63 sustainable development matrix questionnaire and meeting evaluation forms, which gave us useful information. Comments are summarized as the following four ones: 1) Financial support for each plant and technicians, which local people the amount can be increased; 2) The definition of post-sale service, which local technicians do not agree to use; 3) Stakeholders hope capacity building activities should be more emphasized in the project, not only biogas maintenance but also comprehensively utilization of biogas slurry and residues; and 4) The distribution of the profits, which stakeholders thought it was not clarified very clearly. PP s response to each comment is as below. Stakeholder comment Comment 1: Is it possible to increase the finance support for each dysfunctional biogas plant? Comment 2: I do not agree to use the word of post-sale service. We did not sell the biogas Was comment taken into account (Yes/ No)? No Yes Explanation (Why? How?) This project aims to reactivate the dysfunctional biogas digesters in a sustainable business mode. Local households are required to pay for at least 1/3 of the cost, at the same time, biogas technicians are required to develop the market for and by themselves. The project will emphasize on capacity building and help develop a sustainable business chain for both local households and the maintenance team. Since the world is sensitive to biogas technicians, we will change the word to post-installation service. 10

11 plants to local households, as well as the service. Comment 3: I hope the subsidy for biogas technicians can be improved. Comment 4: Using biogas digester should be in line with sustainable development of households, in which way the biogas will be used continually. Comment 5: More attention should be brought to training local households, particularly how to maintain the biogas plants in a very safe way. Comment 6: The profits distribution is not very clearly clarified during the meeting. Hope this can be clarified during the training, in order to improve local households and technicians activeness. No Yes Yes Yes The project aims to change local people and local technicians awareness on biogas digester maintenance. It mainly focuses on capacity building of technicians in both technology and market development. Direct subsidy will not be our priority. This is very important for both local households and the PP, and it is already considered by PP. The willingness of using biogas digester can only be increased once it is related to economic development. Therefore, we will have some training on comprehensively using biogas slurry and residues for agriculture development. At the same time, we will help build the bridge for the rural households who only use biogas slurry and residues for planting fruits or vegetables with urban households to sell these so-called organic fruits or vegetables at higher price. The improvement of local households ability is very important to the maintenance of biogas digesters. We will organize about 40 times of trainings for both biogas technicians and local households. Local people and technicians need to know how the profits will be distributed among different stakeholders. We will clarify this when signing contracts with technicians and when reactivating local households dysfunctional biogas plants. Alterations based on comments: 11

12 Regarding comment 2, we will change the word post-service to maintenance service system; Regarding comment 4 and 5, we will have more local households join in the training and will provide as much as training on comprehensively using biogas slurry and residues expect for biogas plants maintenance. For example, for the 2,000 households at the first phase of the project, we will request as many as possible of them to join in the training; Regarding comment 6, we will make the profits distribution clearly to both local people and local biogas technicians when implementing the project. E.2. Stakeholder Feedback Round Please describe report how the feedback round was organised, what the outcomes were and how you followed up on the feedback. [See Toolkit 2.11] For the local households and policy makers who have limited access to internet and have language barriers, we will translate a summary of the LSC report, draft Passport and draft PDD and send to them with help of our local assistant, as well as posting key information on the specific sites where local people often pass by, e.g. bank, retailers shops, etc. EWI will organize students to send the documents personally to these people who were invited or joined in the LSC meeting physically to have their feedbacks. In order to involve more women in the feedback round, EWI will also ask students to visit as much as possible to ensure at least half of the respondents are women. For other stakeholders who have access to internet and no language barriers, we will send the LSC report, draft Passport, and draft PDD to them through . SECTION F.

This project is to reactivate dysfunctional biogas digesters. All the labours involved must be skilled adults. This means that no child labour will be involved. There is only one risk of discrimination, which is gender discrimination. Although gender discrimination is very common in China. This project will encourage women to participate in training activities to improve their ability to maintain biogas digesters and female technicians will be encouraged harder. There is no direct construction activity in factory in this project, leading to no potential hazards or dangerous processes. Even though, the project will ensure its employees with safe and healthy work environment.
