About this project

This is the 2nd VPA (GS2751) of the African Biogas Carbon Programme (ABC) (GS2747) that will operate in Tanzania following the rules and regulations of a Gold Standard Programme of Activities. The overall objective of the VPA is to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) through the dissemination of domestic biogas systems as a local, sustainable energy source and the development of a commercially viable, market-oriented biogas sector. By encouraging the switch from traditional non-renewable biomass (NRB) fuels to renewable biogas the VPA is reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. TDBP is the sector leader with the responsibility of coordinating, facilitating and monitoring sector functions and supporting the technical, financial and institutional architecture necessary for development of the domestic biogas sector in Tanzania. The VPA is to be implemented based on private sector market oriented principles, but developing governmental support for a favourable regulatory and policy environment, as well as general buy-in promotion and extension. The emissions reductions achieved through the VPA will generate carbon credits, the revenue from which will be used to subsidise the biodigesters and biogas stoves, making them more affordable for use in households, SMEs and communities. Apart from reducing emissions, the VPA will contribute to the sustainable development through reduction of deforestation and the need for artificial fertilizers, reduction of indoor air pollution and time spent obtaining biomass for cooking, increase of employment opportunities in the biogas industry and improvement of crop yields and diversity through use of bio-slurry produced by the digester.
