In Meiquan Village near Lashi Lake, Zhang Chengui says he has been able to maximize profits by spending more time growing crops since installing a biogas digester-greenhouse, solar water heater, energy-efficient stove and rain-collecting cistern.

Since then, his income has tripled to 40,000-50,000 yuan ($5,800-$7,300), he said.
