Abstract

This study presents an improved community biogas production and distribution system (CBPD) design to address the mismatch between biogas supply and demand in rural communities. The design incorporates mechanisms to adjust biogas flow rates on both the plant and user sides, aiming for a consumption-to-production ratio (CPR) of 1. The authors use five existing systems as empirical examples, illustrating carbon mitigation and system viability under various climates. National deployment in China, coupled with manure management optimization, is projected to contribute a 3.77% reduction towards the country's 1.5 °C global warming target.
