China and Asian Development Bank (ADB) have decided to step up construction of bio-gas pools in Asia's rural communities to deal with energy crunch in villages amid rising prices of oil and grains.
The ADB has agreed on a $1 million grant to China, which has been successfully burning bio-gas in rural areas for cooking and lighting, according to the ADB's senior official.
