“…Upgraded CBPD illustrates a way to stable supply biogas in dynamic situations with full utilization, and its broad feasibility could acquire an important contribution of climate change mitigation. Further policy measures should include designing administrative regulation to cultivate professional units to provide reliable biogas supply service, and effective judgment criteria for methane mitigation subsidies based on institutional designs using Common Pool Resource theory 49 . In addition, upgraded CBPD deployment in combination with other renewable energy systems, such as solar energy, heat pumps, etc., could develop superior synergistic systems for more stand-alone energy supply.…”

On-site conversion of organic waste into biogas to satisfy consumer energy demand has the potential to realize energy equality and mitigate climate change reliably. However, existing methods ignore either real-time full supply or methane escape when supply and demand are mismatched. Here, we show an improved design of community biogas production and distribution system to overcome these and achieve full co-benefits in developing economies. We take five existing systems as empirical examples. Mechanisms of synergistic adjusting out-of-step biogas flow rates on both the plant-side and user-side are defined to obtain consumption-to-production ratios of close to 1, such that biogas demand of rural inhabitants can be met. Furthermore, carbon mitigation and its viability under universal prevailing climates are illustrated. Coupled with manure management optimization, Chinese national deployment of the proposed system would contribute a 3.77% reduction towards meeting its global 1.5 °C target. Additionally, fulfilling others’ energy demands has considerable decarbonization potential.

“…To resolve the energy challenges both in quantitative and operational terms, policy makers in developing rural areas should not only apply the new technologies, but also improve managerial skills to nd the best protocols to achieve CPR close to 1. Further research could provide e cient and simple methods to evaluate CPR, and identify effective subsidy strategies for different CPR operational performances based on institutional designs from Common Pool Resource theory 47 , according to a rural community's situation. Last but not least, combinations of upgraded CBPD and other renewable energy systems, such as solar energy, heat pumps, etc., would develop synergistic systems for stand-alone energy supply with high primary energy ratio and zero carbon emissions in rural areas 48 , in order to solve the rural energy challenge.…”

On-site conversion of organic waste into biogas to satisfy consumer demand for direct primary energy usage has the potential to mitigate climate change in a highly trustworthy manner. Existing approaches usually ignore either the targeted supply of biogas in dynamic situations or methane slippage, especially where the goal is to achieve energy equality in developing areas, which has become the main obstacle to achieving the full co-benefits of organic waste conversion. Here, we describe an upgraded community biogas production and distribution system (CBPD) to achieve a biogas consumption-to-production ratio of close to 1 in rural or remote areas, compared with the actual performance of five current CBPD systems. Improvements in the practical operation of CBPD systems are proposed to better align out-of-step biogas flow rates on the plant-side with user-side demand. We also demonstrate that upgraded CBPDs can achieve universally high and competitive benefits under the prevailing climate conditions, and that national deployment of such systems in China would contribute a 3.77% reduction in carbon emissions towards meeting the 1.5°C global warming target set by the Paris Agreement.

“…They concluded that the approach was very useful, but that it lacks a clear explanation of the method and the local context with which to amend the ES assessments in the future. Rodela et al (2019) did an overview of the research that includes an interaction of ES concepts and the common-pool resources. Both concepts address natural resource management from different aspects and they could contribute to new findings in the field and with a synergetic interplay (especially regarding the role of the community and community practices in managing local natural resources).…”

Ecosystem services (ES) are the benefits people receive from ecosystems and a key tool for assessing the sustainability of natural resource use. Natural resource management requires consistent data on the state of ES; despite this, no such research has been carried out at the national level in Slovenia. The purpose of the article is to create an overview of past ES studies in Slovenia. The method of systematic mapping was used. We identified, compared, and described data on ES studies that have been published in Slovenia. The key findings are: 1) the number of ES studies in Slovenia is increasing, however the share of studies focused solely on ES has been decreasing since 2015; 2) the most represented field is forestry and the forest is the most commonly examined ecosystem; 3) the prevailing ES groups are regulating ES, while the most commonly explored individual ES are cultural ES, namely recreation and ecotourism, and 4) the most commonly implemented methodological approach is narrative analysis. Ekosistemske storitve (ES) so koristi, ki jih ljudje prejemajo od ekosistemov, in so eno ključnih orodij za presojo trajnosti rabe naravnih virov. Za upravljanje z naravnimi viri so nujni konsistentni podatki o stanju ES, a takšne raziskave na nacionalni ravni v Sloveniji še ni. Namen članka je pregledati pretekle raziskave ES v Sloveniji. Uporabili smo metodo sistematičnega kartiranja. Identificirali, primerjali in opisali smo podatke o objavljenih raziskavah o ES v Sloveniji. Ključne ugotovitve so: 1) število raziskav ES v Sloveniji raste, a se od 2015 zmanjšuje delež osredotočenih zgolj na ES; 2) najbolj zastopano področje je gozdarstvo, gozd pa največkrat preučevan ekosistem; 3) med skupinami ES prednjačijo uravnalne, najpogosteje obravnavana posamezna ES je kulturna ES, in sicer rekreacija in ekoturizem; 4) najpogosteje uporabljen metodološki pristop je narativna analiza.
