AEPC receives $592,200 from GPOBA

The World Bank implemented Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid (GPOBA) project in Nepal has made the first payment of $592,200 to the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) for successful 2008 delivery of verified new biogas plant installations in Nepal. This project provides increased access to clean and affordable energy for rural Nepali households, and has successfully installed 4,772 new biogas plants eligible for payment under the GPOBA grant.
The World Bank-administered GPOBA programme signed a grant agreement with the Government of Nepal in October 2007 providing a total of $5 million in support, which will provide payment for the verified installation of up to 37,000 new biogas plants in 48 remote districts of Nepal. The programme is being managed by the Alternative Energy Promotion Center (AEPC) with implementation support provided by the Biogas Sector Partnership Program-Nepal (BSP-N). It uses an innovative 'output-based aid' approach in which subsidy payments are made based on verified results.
"The project builds on Nepal's impressive track record with mainstreaming biogas plants as a practical and affordable solution to energy problems in rural Nepal," said Susan Goldmark, World Bank Country Director for Nepal. "It converts animal and human waste into a clean source of cooking fuel -- thereby removing the need to use wood, dried dung and other fossil fuel sources of energy. The biogas byproduct can also be used as a natural fertilizer to increase agricultural yields. This is a small but important step to improving the lives of rural Nepalis."
The GPOBA project aims to support replacement of traditional energy sources used by the rural population, such as firewood and kerosene, with modern biogas plants. Biogas plants use anaerobic decomposition of organic material (mostly animal manure) to produce a flammable gas called biogas, which can be used to meet rural cooking and lighting needs. GPOBA's grant payment is made to AEPC for successful commissioning of new biogas plants ranging in capacity from 4m3 to 8m3. Even the smallest plants with a 4m3 capacity produce enough gas to run a cooking stove for nearly 2.5 hours daily.
Switching to biogas reduces carbon emissions and decreases the frequency of respiratory infections that result from burning solid fuels in poorly ventilated households. Families will also save approximately three hours of labour per day due to the conveniences of gas in addition to financial savings by not purchasing other fuels and fertilizers. Women and girls, who are traditionally responsible for collecting firewood and cooking and cleaning, will be the project's primary beneficiaries. Furthermore, access to biogas will enable families to use gas lanterns after sunset providing light for children's studies or other household activities.
"The GPOBA fund received will help AEPC to install additional biogas plants in the future in more remote and needy areas in Nepal," said Dr Narayan Prasad Chaulagain, Executive Director of AEPC.
Saroj Rai, Executive Director of BSP-Nepal added, "The GPOBA funding for BSP is an achievement that has further motivated us to promote biogas with increasing focus on market development in remote areas."
The GPOBA funds will complement the Fourth Phase of Nepal's Biogas Support Program (BSP-IV), which aims to support biogas plant installation for over 135,000 new rural households through 2011. Biogas Support Programme was started in 1992 by the Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV) together with the Government of Nepal to promote environmentally friendly and affordable energy to remote rural areas. It has helped install over 200,000 biogas plants till date in rural Nepal.
The full Nepal Biogas Programme is co-funded by the government, SNV, and the German Development Bank (KfW). It is also receiving carbon finance revenue from the World Bank Community Development Carbon Fund (CDCF).

With a 60 day maturity, turnips need to be in the ground
by August 15. Mulch will reduce weed growth and prevent new weeds from growing
in the garden. When ordering mulch, find out what the
delivery cost is and compare it between companies before ordering.

If there's give in the stakes or the form, neither of them are doing their jobs correctly. First, ready mixed concrete in Sunderland can help you get your construction job done faster. * Not Ideal For Floors: While this is a great option for the walls, it's a less-than-impressive option for the floors.

Apply 2 to 3 inches of mulch over the plants root system once all foliage is removed and discarded.
Owning a regular lawn mower does not mean you have to give up on mulching your yard; you just have to be willing to do some work.
Depending on the density of the mulch, one should lay two to six
inches of mulch over topsoil in the vegetable garden.
