  Biogas for climate justice: a story of change in Nepal

  International Water Management Institute, 2013

  Switching from a wood-fuelled cooking fire to a biogas flame saves trees and time, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and prevents health problems. This paper discusses the community-based cooperatives in the Terai plains of Nepal which are using carbon credits to fund micro-loans for families to install the technology.

  Providing low-budget estimations of carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural wetlands.

  International Water Management Institute, 2013

  The conversion of wetlands to agriculture through drainage and flooding, and the burning of wetland areas for agriculture have important implications for greenhouse gas (GHG) production and changing carbon stocks. However, the estimation of net GHG changes from mitigation practices in agricultural wetlands is complex compared to dryland crops.
