Gold Standard · GS12147 · Mauritius
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.
