Description
In June 2012, China donated 10,000 bio-gas appliances to Ethiopia amounting to 1 million CNY. The appliances will be provided to rural households for cooking and lighting purposes. The Chinese Ambassador, Xie Xiaoyan, signed the hand-over certificate with the Ethiopian Minister of Water and Energy, Alemayehu Tegenu. Bio-gas efforts are a part of the Growth and Transformation Period, which have been coordinated by the National Bio-gas Program of Ethiopia. Overall, the government plans to construct 70,000 bio-gas plants by the end of this time period (2015). Chinese technicians have tested and installed some of the appliances and also provided training to their Ethiopian counterparts for future maintenance.
