Project Details
NIBP model of Biogas Plant in Shankosh
Year: 2011 - 2012
Status: Completed
Overview of the Project
NCDC implemented the three-year project entitled Diminishing Pressure on the Forests and Improvement of Living Conditions in Shankosh VDC, Dhading district of Nepal. The project commenced in 2011 and was successfully completed in December 2012. The working area of the project was Shankosh VDC.
NCDC installed 102 NIBP (Nepal Improved Biogas Plan) model of plants. The NIPB plant is slightly different from the usual GGC-2047 biogas plant design which was in operation for over 20 years. Nepal Biogas Promotion Association (NBPA) with the support of GIZ took the initiative to improve GGC design to NIBP considering the BSP standard design and improving some critical points. The NIB plant is designed to address the shortcomings of the current GGC-2047 plant design. The NIBP design is considered much more flexible in terms of space requirements and plant placement than the GGC system. NIBP is designed for better performance (gas production) and usability of the plant for the rural communities. At present, NCDC is the only institution in the country which promoted the NIBP model.
