About this project

The project concerns the extension of an existing landfill in the Municipality of Meknès in Morocco. For now, the biogas of the landfill is only partially captured and the leachate treatment capacity is reaching saturation, which hinders biogas capture and threatens the surrounding environment. The new project (concerned by the certification) includes the implementation of an improved biogas capture system (added wells and adapted network), an extension of the current leachates treatment installation, a new gas flare to manage the additional captured biogas and a new biogas engine to produce electricity, which will be partly reused on site and partly injected in the national and local electricity networks. In this context the changes generated through the implementation of the different technologies are: - Increased captured biogas; from 15% to 70%, hence reducing the site fugitive emissions , thanks to CH4 destruction (Reduced emissions) - Valorization of the biogas in electricity generation: Through the biogas motor, the project will generate electricity. (Avoided emissions for the local energy mix)

Location

Country only The registry gives the country only, so the project is not drawn on the map

The registry gives Morocco as the location, so this project is not drawn on the map. It is counted in the country totals.

Credit totals and status are as compiled in the Berkeley Voluntary Registry Offsets Database v2026-08 (CC BY 4.0) and change as the registries update. Please check the registry record before you quote a figure.
