Description
Landfill
gas
(LFG)
collection,
incineration
and
use
Total
project
value:
R$
5,000,000
|
|
Location
The
landfill
is
located
in
the
São
Paulo
Metropolitan
Area.
The
site
receives
approximately
2,000
tons/day
of
domestic
waste,
as
well
as
small
amounts
of
solid
industrial
waste
from
neighboring
municipalities.
The
landfill
has
been
operational
since
1987,
and
has,
so
far,
received
6.1
million
tons
of
wastes.
An
additional
amount
of
4.8
million
tons
of
waste
is
expected
until
its
closure,
planned
for
the
year
2014.

Goals
and
Benefits
The
project's
primary
goal
is
the
installation
of
a
LFG
collection
and
incineration
unit.
The
project's
key
benefit
will
be
the
reduction
of
approximately
593,000
tons
of
methane
emissions
during
the
next
two
decades.
In
the
future,
the
LFG
shall
be
used
for
electric
power
generation.
The
project
was
developed
as
a
Clean
Development
Mechanism
(CDM)
project,
resulting
in
the
generation
of
approximately
500,000
Certified
Emission
Reduction
(CER)
credits
per
year.
Part
of
the
revenue
from
the
generation
and
sales
of
carbon
credits
will
be
used
to
support
a
comprehensive
social
program,
benefiting
the
local
residents.
