Farmers and consumers here are trying to establish a recycling-oriented society by promoting the use of biogas as part of efforts to protect the environment.
Biogas is a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide produced by the decomposition of organic waste and used as fuel.
Raw garbage from some 70 households in the town is pumped into a gas plant, which produces biogas by fermenting the waste so one farm family nearby can use it for cooking and heating water.
The plant also turns out liquid fertilizer as a byproduct, which is used by local farmers. The number of biogas users is expected to increase in the future.
