 Tibet to explore a "greenhouse + digesters" the development of new agricultural cycle mode.  According to the Office of the Tibet Autonomous Region and Tibetan farmers and herdsmen energy research centres of excellence to statistics, Tibet Solar gas project, annual savings for each household income farmers and herdsmen around 4,000 yuan, an annual saving firewood and coal used about two tons, equivalent to 3,000 square meters Forest .
