059 Biogas Market Development – Up scaling to Nghe An province

The overall strategy of establishing throughout Vietnam a sustainable market-driven network of biogas service providers must be envisaged as at least a 5-year process, gradually building the sustainability and innovative capacities of service providers while replicating the model in different areas in the country. Without the EASE contribution, the initial costs of training and marketing would prevent the set up of such a network. Although the technology used is Vietnamese, its introduction at the district level requires outside financial support.

The scaling-up strategy will continue to be based on setting up and training teams of technicians at the district level who can then function as service providers. In addition, CCRD will identify the most successful teams from Thanh Hoa province and will set them up as trainers for new teams in their district and province. This will help speed up the process of establishing a countrywide network.
