Project Title	Biogas Plant Sandbeiendorf
Project Type	GHG Mitigation Project
Project Developer	ARA Carbon Finance GmbH
Project Description	The project is an agricultural methane capture project. Under the project activity, swine manure at the piggery of Sandbeiendorf is fed into a biogas plant. The manure is aerobically digested, yielding methane and a high quality fertilizer. The methane is piped into a CHP unit to generate electricity and heat.
Project Benefits	1/ Validated GHG mitigation project following the JI and CDM mechanisms according to UNFCCC standards.
	2/ Significant reduction of uncontrolled methane emissions arising during storage of manure in the baseline scenario.
	3/ Decentralised GHG mitigation approach
