About this project

The purpose of the Project is to generate renewable electricity using the landfill gas collected from the Mare Chicose landfill and flare surplus landfill gas collected (technology/measure). The project activity involves an active landfill gas collection system, an enclosed flare system, and a modular electricity generation system. The technology used in the project activity, i.e. the collection, flaring and utilisation of the LFG results in avoiding equivalent GHG emissions in the baseline.
