The Asian Development Bank is funding thousands of biogas plants across Viet Nam to help reduce the country’s mounting piles of rural waste, which are harming the environment and endangering health. A boom in livestock production has seen a sharp rise in the discharge of untreated waste, which has serious consequences for health and the environment. Converting this waste into biogas and fertilizer is helping prevent disease outbreaks, cutting harmful gas emissions, lowering costs for farmers and providing new supplies of clean energy.
