In this project, wpd is financing the construction and repair of small biogas plants in Nepal. These plants replace open fires, thus preventing deforestation and CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions. The open fires are also responsible for serious eye and lung disease. The biogas plants run on otherwise unused cow dung which is converted to biogas through anaerobic fermentation. The biogas is directed through pipes to gas cookers in the kitchens. One such biogas plant can save around 2,000 kg of firewood per year and thus two to three tons of CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0by comparison with using an open \u201cthree stone fire\u201d. After fermentation, the remains of the cow dung can be used as a powerful bio-fertiliser, thus appreciably boosting agricultural yield.\r\n\r\nYou can find further information on the project on atmosfair\u2019s website.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atmosfair.de\/en\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1967\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wpd.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/atmosfair_logo_en-992x331.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"84\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wpd.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/atmosfair_logo_en-992x331.png 992w, https:\/\/www.wpd.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/atmosfair_logo_en-768x257.png 768w, https:\/\/www.wpd.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/atmosfair_logo_en-600x200.png 600w, https:\/\/www.wpd.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/atmosfair_logo_en-720x241.png 720w, https:\/\/www.wpd.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/atmosfair_logo_en-360x120.png 360w, https:\/\/www.wpd.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/atmosfair_logo_en.png 1305w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/a>\r\n<h2>Nepal Biogas Support Programme<\/h2>\r\n[borlabs-cookie type=\"content-blocker\" id=\"vimeo\"]\r\n<div style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0;
