Composting Facilities for Organic Waste in East Africa
Gold Standard · GS12907 · Tanzania
About this project
The project aims to reduce the amount of organic waste that is dumped in uncontrolled landfills and thereby mitigate methane emissions. The PoA shall consists of the construction and operation of several composting facilities. The baseline is the disposal of organic waste in uncontrolled conditions in landfills, mixed with other waste fractions, where it decays anaerobically. The practice of sending organic waste to landfills can be avoided by collecting the organic waste and treating it aerobically in a controlled composting facility. By aerating the organic waste in a composting facility, methane emissions are avoided and only CO2 emissions are released.
