2. The Sichuan Rural Poor-Household Biogas Development ProgrammeKey Facts and FiguresProject ID: CDM PoA 2898, GS 1239Project type: Household Biogas PoATarget group: only low-income rural households with an annual per capital income < USD 500Target number of households: up to 1 millionCurrently included households: nearly 400,000Project developer: UPM Umwelt-Projekt-Management GmbH, Munich (Germany)Local partners: Chengdu Oasis Science & Technology, Sichuan Rural Energy Office (SREO)Location: China, remote areas of Sichuan ProvinceProject status: registered and issuing GS CERsAnnual GHG emissions reduction: around 750,000 tCO2e
3. Project activity overviewThis project…provides up to 1 million poor farmer households in China’s Sichuan Province with proven biogas digesters and smoke-free efficient cook stovesavoids GHG emissions from untreated animal manure and from burned coal generates climate-friendly, convenient and inexpensive biogas for cooking, lighting or heatingcomplements and improves an existing rural biogas promotion scheme run by the Chinese government and implemented by the Sichuan Rural Energy Office (SREO)uses the dense network and qualified experts of the SREO, to distribute, main-tain and monitor biogas devices all over Sichuandisposes of a top-tier IT system for PoA management and monitoringreimburses around 42% of its GS CERsales revenue to participating house-holds and the SREO
4. SDG IMPACTS DELIVEREDThis project delivers…a verifiable impact on 14 out of 17 UN SDGs in its Sichuan target areas, according to a recent scientific study by the Center for Sustainable Environmen-tal Sanitation (CSES) at the University of Science and Technology in Beijingthe largest positive effects for SDGs01: No Poverty02: Zero Hunger03: Good Health & Well-Being06: Clean Water & Sanitation07: Affordable & Clean Energy08: Decent Work & Economic Growth12: Responsible Production & Consumption13: Climate Action Those in bold are GS4GG verified.
5. SDG Impact further specifiedbenefitting financially from the PoA with 40% increase of disposable household incomewith improved food security and nutrition with 182,000 ha under sustainable agricultural practicesbenefitting from improved health, mostly women and childrenbetter qualified in renewable energy with 2,000 additional people qualified as biogas expertsNearly 400,000 households or 1.2 million people benefitting from improved waste management, less fertilizer & pesticide use and better sanitation systems
6. SDG Impact further specified1,055 of total female jobs created by the PoA1.5 hours per day less cooking time for women and now available for other purposesNearly 400,000 households or 1.2 million people with access to clean, reliable and affordable biogasbenefitting from sustained income growthOther SDG Impact of this PoA:10,550 total jobs created by the project, thereof2,000 permanent jobs and 8,550 temporary jobs

8. HOW IS This PROJECT INNOVATIVEThis project is innovative because it was…the first PoA of its kind to apply a new combination of CDM methodologies that are ideally suited for large-scale biogas development programmes at household levelone of the first PoAs worldwide to be registered under CDM and Gold Standard, and having issued GS CERsone of the first participants in the Global Alliance for Clean Cook Stoves and the UNFCCC CDM Sustainable Development Co-Benefits Reporting Initiativethe first PoA to have successfully migrated to the new Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG)
