About this project

This is the first VPA of the African Biogas Carbon Programme (ABC) that will operate following the rules and regulations of a Gold Standard Programme of Activities. It is also the first VPA of the Kenya Domestic Biogas Programme (KBP) designed for biodigesters installed from November 2009 until December 2014. VPAs under the ABC PoA will install biodigesters at households currently using non-renewable biomass and fossil fuels as their main source of cooking fuel. The biodigesters will be fed with manure mixed with water, which will undergo anaerobic digestion and produce biogas that is channelled directly to a cook stove. This biogas produced replaces the combustion of biomass and fossil fuels, thereby reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The biodigesters also reduce methane (CH4) emissions by diverting manure that would otherwise decompose without the capture and use of the methane.
