Wu Xiaoshui: Introduction on project implementation.

Tian Jinsong: My family is cleaner and more sanitary than before since use of biogas.

Through use of methane, we indeed save a lot of time. Before, it was not clean at all.

Burning of straw spent much time and effort and there was dust everywhere at home.

Smoke was big too.

Chen Xinghua: Through use of biogas, I no longer worry about the dung of the pigs.

In the past, flies and mosquitoes were everywhere and there was no solution to waste

problems. Too bothering! Well, it's fine now. No smells. Mosquitoes are less at night.

Zhang Chuanjun: We have three acres of garden in my family. Since use of biogas,

tomatoes produced with biogas fertilizer are much sweeter. Other fruits are warmly

welcomed in the market. Vegetable pests are fewer now, and times of using vegetable

medicine are fewer too. So, many vegetable venders come to stand on queue at my home.

Tian Jinkun: At the very beginning when using biogas, we felt few effects. Later on,

through the station's door-to-door services, biogas production is much more than before.

Biogas is enough for cooking if there are no guests. But sometimes minor ailments occur

and we can not repair by ourselves. So I hope more technicians can provide door-to-door

services.

Zhang Chuansong: Life becomes more comfortable since use of biogas. Biogas stove

is as same as gas-oven. There is solar bath water heater. Country yard is clean. I am not

afraid of mosquito bites at night when enjoying the cool any more. I think my life is as

same as that of people who live in cities.

Chen Xingfu: I do not believe that biogas can bring that many benefits at the

beginning. But after reckoning I found it is good indeed. In the past I spent much in

pesticide and fertilizer each year. Now my expense is evidently decreased after using

biogas slurry and biogas residue as organic manure. I do not spend money on LPG any

more now. Take a look: each year I can save firewood of 4,000 kg, about RMB300; 60

degrees of electricity, nearly RMB50; expense on pesticides and fertilizer for RMB300,

15

and I can earn income of RMB 300 from breeding of pig. So I have total economic

benefit of RMB950.

Zhang Zhengshan: I feel it is very convenient to use biogas. I used to use straw to

burn big pot before. Now, biogas is enough. There is no need of buying LPG. Meanwhile,

profits of breeding pigs are also very good. A lot of labor and material resources are

saved.

Zhang Chuanjin: Life has been very convenient since using of biogas. Dung of pigs

and wastes in toilet are washed into the biogas tank. Daily volume is adequate enough to

light lamps and cooking. Biogas slurry is endlessly sent to vegetable garden and farmland.

I found that the pest is rarer in the fields, crops are growing very well, pesticides and

fertilizers consumption was significantly reduced. According to my initial estimates, use

of biogas can save about RMB400 and can bring profit of RMB 500 each year. Economic

benefit is RMB900 in the two items.

Cai Yuhai: I did not ardently apply for biogas last time. Now, seeing benefit of others

by using of biogas stove and biogas fertilizer, I feel regret. Next time, I will apply for it,

breed several pigs, and do a good job in the fruit garden. If the condition permits, I will

use tap water, repair the road and I believe my life will be better.

Feng Xiaoye: The new home construction project is based on biogas to readjust

agricultural structure with a series of mature technologies of planting and breeding

industry, to increase income of farmers and to improve the rural environment. It is a very

significant and welcomed public working.

Zhu Jiwen: Eco-farming project not only promotes life of farmers, reduces forest and

grass consumption and protects environment by biogas technology but also realizes

internal connection of planting and breeding, promotes development of ecological

planting and breeding industry and increases income through use of "pig-biogas-fruit"

ecological mode......

Luo Guomei: Eco-farming project focused on harmless agricultural production,

namely, establish "pollution-free agricultural" production base by use of biogas residue,

16

bioliquid organic fertilizer as well as other efficient ecological agriculture technology so

as to enhance the quality of agricultural products, and drive agricultural to the orientation

of excellent quality and high efficiency.

Xu Fusheng: "1I+ 3" will not only facilitate the remaining of human being and

animals into the pool and killing of mosquitoes, but also can effectively prevent the

spread of the disease because most parasites and bacteria are killed in the tank.......

Yin Xihou: Project introduction.

Zhang Dexiang: Concrete content introduction.

Wang Jiangbo: The majority of farmers are very pleased that the Eco-farming project

settles in our village. Firstly we would like to express our thanks to our superiors and the

World Bank. Secondly, the overwhelming majority of farmers are eager to join the project.

Main fuel crops are Hexing village is straw and firewood. Kitchens, toilets and pig shed

of farmers are dirty and chaotic. Therefore, we urgently request that the project could be

stirred up as soon as possible. We expect that through this project we can completely

change the way we look. For a higher standard, with self-owned input of three to five

thousand Yuan and more input of farmers with better condition as well as subsidy of the

state and loan, we hope to build our own homes better, improve conditions of rural

sanitation, increase agricultural production and promote our rural economy.

Yi Shenghua: At present, farmer economic in our Hexing Village is not very good.

18

Agricultural economy needs to be developed. We broad masses of farmers eagerly

anticipate changes of sanitation environment and development of rural economy through

"1 +5" and ecological construction of our home. We hope that all levels of government

and the World Bank can give us the most preferential loans and give us great support. We

will build our homes better.

Wang Jihou: After the public disclosure, farmers in our village are very happy on this

information. We are enthusiastical to carry out "1 + 5" and the eco-farming construction. I

hope technical staff can often guide us. Particularly after the project beginning, I hope

technicians can teach us how to manage and preserve and impart information and

technology of becoming rich with biogas in order to allow the project bring good results.

Pu Guoqing: "1 +5" is very good. My family mainly depends on fruit production. I would

like to master the technology of biogas to increase fruit quality by using biogas fertilizer

on fruit trees. With support of the country and the World Bank, I am willing to put up

some money to build my orchard. We are eager to engage in this project as soon as

possible.

Deng Yiwen: This project is fine to improve environment and sanitation. There are 854

households in our village. Majorities are willing to do and more than 630 households

have applied. Construction of biogas and comprehensive utilization of biogas is of many

advantages. First, develop agricultural production and increase our income; second,

change rural sanitation and improve our health; third, it is liberation of women by

reducing their work intensity. But most of the farmers in our village are not very rich, so

we hope that the World Bank can support us. We hope with subsidiary of the country,

loan from the World Bank and self-owned fund to complete this project.

Wang Jifang: My brother is also engaged in this project. He often told us effects of biogas.

I know some, especially something about women's health and reduction of labor intensity.

We want support from superior level to complete this project together and we will

corporate. We hope that the World Bank can give us most preferential loan policies.

Zhao Qionghua: From friends and relatives we know that construction of biogas tanks is of

19

many advantages to women working and sanitation. We hope the country and the World

Bank can give us support. We will also gather fund to construct this project. Our

anticipation to this project is urgent. Meanwhile, we would like to express our thanks to

leaders and World Bank.

Hu Zhifen: Women are for the project. But we are lack of money currently, so we hope

that the government and the World Bank can support us.

You Shaoqiong: We, women in particular, hope for earlier implementation of this project.

there will be no smoke; there will be sanitary toilet, cleaner, less gynecological disease

and many other advantages. The problem is that money of each of householder is limited.

We hope to join this project supported by World Bank and State.

Bao Jiming: We lived in rural areas for several decades. Producing and living conditions

are relatively poor. The majority of farmers are eager to change our present conditions. "1

+5" brings us hope. At present, our money is not enough to pay whole investment,

therefore, we hope that the higher authorities and the World Bank can give preferential

policies on loan, the project should begin as soon as possible so we can have the

advantages earlier.

Huang Xingcheng: I am a technician for construction of biogas. It has been more than 2

years since the start of biogas national debt project. And I engaged in construction of this

project all the time. So I share a common experience with farmers: engagement of "1 + 3

changed the smoke environment lasting for generations in rural areas, changed the

traditional health habits. Leaders at all levels are very happy at the achievement.

Comparing with "1+3", in this project of "1 +5" water supply and roads is added. The

project not only changes the environment, reduce labor intensity, but also exerts

integrated biogas efficiency through combination with agricultural production. For

example, biogas can be stored to kill grain pests, and bioliquid can be used for soaking,

feeding pigs, as foliar fertilization. In short, there are many advantages. I hope that we

can catch this opportunity.

Tao Qingli: Mr Huang made a excellent delivery, which makes me understand many

20

advantages of biogas. Biogas can help us getting rich and can change environemnt. I will

take a lead in this project. Majority of farmers in the Hexing Village are for this project

and want to conduct it. But we are lack of money and techniques.

Liu Changyong: "1+5" is very good and we are all willing to conduct it. We could only

hope that the higher authorities and the World Bank give us financial support. We call on

the World Bank to give us the most preferential policies, such as giving concessions in

the interest rate and the amount of loans.

Wang Jifang: There will be of great benefits to women. With methane, we can wash with

hot water and take convenient bath, so we will have less disease. We strongly support this

project. Hope that the countries and the World Bank give us more favorable loan interest.

Huang Guangwu: The project is good for ecology and environment. Upon completion, it

will bring great advantages to our health and life, will reduce diseases, beautify our

homes and develop ecological agriculture.

Zou Qizhong: The project grated by World Bank is a beneficial to the people and the

country which can effectively improve the rural sanitation and ecological environment,

improve rural energy structure and reduce atmospheric pollution caused by burning of

coal and firewood, develop the rural economy, adjust the structure of agriculture and it is

conducive to the production of green food and pollution-free agricultural products.

Completion of this project will change the appearance of rural areas and made us getting

rich. It is a good project. We will treasure this opportunity to actively participate in this

project and build our homeland.

Liang Qinghong: Project introduction.

Xu Wen: Minority nationality in the Fangcheng District takes 19.8%, accounting for

15.2% of the poverty-stricken population. This project is designed for environmental

protection to improve the living conditions of rural households, reduce the spread of

infectious diseases, save cooking time and labor, reduce deforestation, reduce carbon

dioxide emissions, provide large amounts of organic fertilizer (bioliquid, biogas residue),

reduce fertilizer application, reduce pests.

Xu Kui: Technical training has been done well. There are 60 specialists, 180 farmer

technicians trained, 250 individuals of construction workers and 2,500 biogas tanks to be

established in accordance with the requirements of the project. Technology is guaranteed.

There are a total of 11,000 biogas tanks in this area. Some of them can not be used due to

technical problems, but they can be reformed.

22

Wen Desong: Current water quality of this district reached Class II of national standard,

air quality reached the Class II of national standard. Construction of this project in our

district, not only will not cause environmental influences, but also can improve ecological

environment, reduce soil erosion and reduce sewage discharges..

Bao Juan: Construction of this project can save more time of cooking for women to study

other techniques and improve economical capacity. In the past years, there were technical

and capital problems of agricultural biogas tank. Through construction of this project,

more technicians are to be trained and the ecological home will be better.

Chen Yongseng: Implement the project is warmly welcomed by farmers because it can

improve environment. And there will be little influence by adopting " 1 + 3 ".

Pan Deliang: I think that the new rural construction projects can play a role in

improvement of rural water supply.

Yang Guiping: Government did a lot of works for this project. From the point of ecological

agriculture, this project can provide excellent organic fertilizers, reduce discharge of

pollutant, construct fertilizer dose, which is favorable to agricultural producing and rural

environment.

Wei Yun: Biogas is very important in rural areas. 80% of the population lives in rural areas.

My hometown is in the countryside too. 50% of rural households use biogas tanks in my

hometown. Fruit quality is good. I suggest that eight construction projects to be extended

to the entire region.

Jia Shuanghe: Project introduction.

Chang Kuanwei: Farmers are in urgent need of building biogas tanks, for saving of costs

and increasing of efficiencies. Reduce cutting of firewood and burning of coal. 2.5-ton

of coal is needed in each household and only 1 ton of coal needed in winter after use of

biogas, saving 1.5 tons. RMB450 is to be saved. Meanwhile, agricultural product quality

is increased and of output is increased nearly 10%. This project will also improve the

living environment, improve bad hygiene habits, reduce eye disease, respiratory disease,

and reduce the incidence of the disease since human being and animals are to be

separated after reform of toilet and animal shed, and mosquito eggs are to be killed after

anaerobic fermentation remaining of human being and livestock. Unnecessary space for

firewood can be saved and thus appearance of the village is to be improved, which may

cause positive influence to spiritual civilization of farmers. Harmonious relations

24

between cadres and masses are to be improved, which can strengthen combating force of

party groups. Farmers increase number of pigs from two to five head. Pool building can

protect the ecological environment and reduce C02 and S02 emission, which caters to

construction of Enshi County.

Xiang Xinjiong: Strengthening the eco-home construction with biogas is breakthrough. It

is compliant with conditions of the county and people. It will cause positive impact for a

harmonious society and it is of fine social basis. It brings benefits from the following

three ways: ecological benefits, increase coverage and reduce soil erosion; more than

10% of Enshi is sloping farmland, taking 72% of the total cultivated land; from the late

1990s hills of returning farmland to forest is 2 million mu. The atmosphere, soil, water

pollution is reduced. SO2 is a major pollutant in our county and it can reduce fluoride

dental caries incidence. Pig breeding is the pillar industries in our county. This project is

favorable to generations and generations. Difficult capital investment is insufficient and

feasibility of the World Bank constructing this project is high bank.

Sheng Zhimei: I would like to express my thanks to advantages of construction of biogas

tanks: 1, women's liberation. In the past, we women spent long time in cooking, and there

was ablaze smoke which made eyes hard to open. Time for cutting firewood is saved too.

2, savings funds. 3, reduce the incidence of disease. 4, increase revenue. more breeding of

pigs increases our revenue. The difficulties: lack of funds in transportation inconvenient

part. High freight costs increased costs. Migrant workers of many families are of low

income. There is only one woman left at home. Wanting to establish the biogas tank,

which banks are not willing and dare not to grant loan.

He Changmei: In 2000 there were less than 8,000 households using biogas in the county

when biogas construction was started. Charitable start of the project in 2000 prompted

400 households in one year. At present, the county is of more than 80,000 households.

Advantages: the protection of forests and vegetation since replacement of firewood by

biogas. Labor intensity of rural women is reduced and it is warmly welcomed by women.

Spread of disease is reduced since eggs causing disease are killed. Increase the income of

25

farmers; mainly through reduce the energy and fertilizer expenses. Save working hours

(30 days per year) of cut firewood. Added value of agricultural products is increased by

utilization of biogas fertilizer. Farmers' culture level is promoted and local endemic is

reduced.

Zeng Youxiang: Current problems: big gap of lack of capital. Repayment of loans is paid

by government in Enshi Prefecture. This year's task has been over the budget, some

farmers' subsidies can not be encashed. Enshi is a national poor county. Environmental

benefit engendered by this project is belonging to the whole world, instead of the single

county. The county makes environmental contribution to the people of the world with a

little fiscal income. We hope that the World Bank should provide preferential policies, for

example, increase in grants, while reducing the number and evaluation procedures,

reducing of unquantitative indicators for reduce of costs. For example, the reduction of

rural disease and the occurrence of diseases are a number of factors that will take time

and process. A period of short time is very difficult to quantify. It is difficult to say clearly.

Change of living environment is definitely good. There are several indicators that are

difficult to quantify so that we hope the World Bank will give special funds to reduce

expenditure items.

He Wei: Project introduction.

He Lianghui: This is a good project and a major event reflecting concern of the

government. Biogas has been carried out here for one part. Total implementation in our

village is expected. The office of Agricultural Department in my village has done a lot of

work. The initial project was particularly good. Tiane Village is brought into the new

countryside plan. Suggest expanding of radius because follow-up services have not being

kept up. Installation of biogas pipelines is not good and switch place is inappropriate.

Now cooking, water heating and manuring with bioliquid and biogas residue is of almost

the same effect as that of LPG. But there is some pressure leakage.

Yuan Keping: Technician training is not enough. Technical services should be

27

strengthened. This project is favorable to income of farmers, growth of pigs and

improvement of environment. Suggest greater reform of toilets.

Zhang Qiaosheng: Suggest publicity of this project and management being

put-into-place. In the past farmers were not willing to establish biogas tanks while they

are all willing to.

Li Bincai: We warmly welcome settling of this project in Ningxiang, which is

conducive to development of producing. Suggest: leaded by the Agricultural Department

and provided technique service by the Rural Energy Office; strengthen technical service

and increase service intensity.

Zhang Shuqing: Agricultural environment in Ningxiang is fine. 0.861 million mus

have been certified as green food bases, and 16 species of products were identified as

pollution-free agricultural products.

Liu Ruixin: Currently there are 60,000 biogas tanks in the whole county, which

involves 35 towns and technical team have more than 200 people. Last year, 3880 tanks

were build, 24 senior technicians, 236 intermediate craftsmen and some junior

technicians joined us. 15 officials worked in Energy Office. Farmers are greatly warmed

with the project. RMB600-800 of coal can be saved in one household. Investment can be

returned within 3 years. Eco-farming project is good for agriculture structure

readjustment.

He Shunxian: This project turned some small breeders into big ones. Biogas fertilizer

is better than farmyard manure. Farmers' way of life is changed. Environment of yard is

changed. Disease transmission is reduced. In the past risk of disease transmission is huge

because farmyard manure is applied after short retention time. Problems: farmers have not

enough cash, thus loan is needed. Mastering of techniques is difficult and repairing

problem is big. There is only 6 technical service station, thus social service system is to

be strengthened.

Liu Ruixin: New service way should be tried to be more effective, such as membership payment.
