In the project of “Biogas Flourishing”, the team designed the Circular Economy Model of “Agriculture-Biogas-Breeding”, based on the self-developed Biogas-Photovoltaic Hybrid Generation System. The model could settle down energy dissipation and environmental contamination problems caused by inefficiency of biogas treatment and insufficiency of biogas exploitation and utilization, meanwhile, it can meet part of the electricity demand in the farm. At present, the team is exploring the possibilities for applying the model into the project of taking targeted measures in poverty alleviation in rural areas.
