She is welcoming us with a large smile, explaining us as successfull policy under the eye of the very powerful National Comittee of the Reforms and of the Chinese Development. The idea is to incite the Chinese farmers to transform their agricultural wastes into biogas.
It is thanks the methanization process that bacteria transform their waste into gas which then can be used to heat the houses or to cook. The government gives subsidizes the half of the installation of the system in order to incite the families setting it up.
Here are the results: 27 millions of systems are installed by technicians authorized by the government since 2001. Thanks to this system, the families, (3 people) have gas which is free of charge for 2 meals a day when recycling wastes. The East of China largely installed it while the West of China, the poorest part of this huge country is in financial difficulties to benefit from it. The government works on a solution with the local cities. Each installation costs 1000 RMB (100€) for the families. The rest is paid thanks to the 2,5 billions of RMB injected by the government each year. A nice example of a technical solution dynamically managed by the government to improve the life of the inhabitants of the rural areas. Shake Your Planetwww.shakeyourplanet.com |
