1 Biogas Technology The three folded benefits addressing Climate Change in Sri Lanka

2

3 Biogas Technology Organic waste management on site, and potentially decreasing the costs of organic waste management (transport and treatment)

4 Biogas Technology Production of Biogas (Methane) that can be used for various energetic purposes, by replacing the use of commercial LPG for cooking or connecting the gas to a generator of electrical current

5 Biogas Technology Production of an organic fertilizer that can be used to replace hazardous chemical fertilizers therefore contributing to the development of organic agriculture

6 No Biogas Technology

7 Biogas Technology

8 Climate Change Mitigation 100 kg/day (organic waste) Waste management by Local Authorities in Sri Lanka 60 kg/day (GHG emissions) 1000 LKR /day (6 EUR / day)

9 Climate Change Mitigation 100 kg/day of organic waste processed in a Biogas unit represents a reduction by 60 kg/day of CO 2 equivalent emission Biogas technology reduces GHG emissions due to two factors: avoiding of emission of methane by open dumping of organic waste replacing LPG

10 Climate Change Mitigation Treating organic waste on-site reduces GHG emissions by reducing transportation of this same waste to a different location Replacing chemical fertilizers by bio-slurry reduces GHG emissions in the production of such chemical fertilizers

11 Climate Change Mitigation In Sri Lanka if every public and private institutions and organizations producing 100 kg/day of organic waste had a bio-digester to treat on-site their waste, at least 1,000 LKR/day could be saved by local authorities in waste management (collection, transport and treatment).

12 Climate Change Adaptation

13 Climate Change Adaptation

14 Climate Change Adaptation Increased resilience through: decreased dependence on firewood and fossil fuel increased soil fertility and consequently increased yields through application of bioslurry Increased income, or realized savings

15 Challenges Challenges and Drivers In some sectors of Sri Lanka, Biogas technology is believed to be outdated, for poor countries and prone to failures Biogas technology has a small role in Sri Lanka Energy plan Small number of Biogas product and service suppliers

16

17 Challenges and Drivers Drivers Urgency and commitment to improve Municipal Solid Waste Management Committed Leaders in the Provinces that believe in Biogas technology potential

18 Challenges and Drivers Drivers A structured training curricula helping to grow the number of professionals and SMEs providing Biogas products and services Progressive partnerships with Banks and MFI willing to provide loans to Biogas installation

19 Strategies and Lessons Learned Strategies: Showcase successful Biogas systems installation in public, tourism and private sectors by promoting exposure visits, training biogas promoters in public and private sectors and producing and disseminating case studies and success stories

20 Strategies and Lessons Learned Strategies: Advocacy at Provincial Councils and supporting, Provincial Biogas Program committees, to develop action plans for Biogas upscale aligned with the Provincial Energy plans.

21 Strategies and Lessons Learned Strategies: Training and supporting SMEs in construction sector in Biogas technology design, planning and installation, business development and sales & promotion

22 Strategies and Lessons Learned Strategies: In partnership with Sri Lanka Standard Institute to review and update the current norm for Biogas Technology (dated from 2006), including the latest developments in the technology in Sri Lanka

23 Strategies and Lessons Learned Lessons Learned: Exposing decision makers to similar successful experiences in other countries with Biogas Upscaling Programs is of vital importance to grow their enthusiasm and support to the program

24 Strategies and Lessons Learned Lessons Learned: Technical and Outreach training to potential Biogas product and service providers has to be delivered in a continuous and personalized way. Each SME has different skills and gaps that needs to be addressed case by case. Hence it is needed to constantly revise content discussed and material handed during the trainings.

25 Strategies and Lessons Learned Lessons Learned: The coordination among different stakeholders with different approaches to promote Biogas technology is essential, so that market-based approaches can prevail and guarantee the sustainability of biogas up-scale programs

27 Project Team

28 The next steps.. To advocate for the creation of an association of Provincial Biogas Program Committees (PBP), among the existing 5, so that they advocate for a National Biogas Program

29 The next steps.. To create an advocacy group, among Biogas and Climate Change Stakeholders, to ensure that Biogas Technology will be part of the national strategy for waste management and will be included as a contributing technology in Sri Lanka National Determined Contributions for Climate Change.

30 The next steps.. To transfer the ownership of the training programs and quality assurance of biogas systems and biogas product and services suppliers, to Provincial Biogas Programs Committees, Associations of Biogas products and service providers and other public stakeholders.
