Mexico: Waste Management and Carbon Offset Project

Abstract*

The project development objectives of the Waste Management and Carbon Offset Project is to reduce the greenhouse emission caused by methane released during land-filling of solid waste in Mexico. The project will support the development of three landfill gas facilities (Guadalajara and Monterrey II, where the methane will be captured and use for power generation; the third facility at La Reserva, Leon where the methane will be flared). The project...

Development Objective

The proposed new PDO is to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions caused by methane released during land-filling of solid waste in Mexico. The Project will support the expansion of the landfill gas facilities in Monterrey, where the methane from the landfill gas will be captured and used for electricity generation. The Project will also support a “proof of concept” solar energy supply to public schools in the Monterrey metropolitan area, State of Nuevo León.
