BR Lages Woodwaste Cogeneration

Abstract*

The Lages Wood Waste Cogeneration Project for Brazil aims to reduce emissions by generating energy from renewable sources. It also supports the development of an international market mechanism for emissions reduction under the framework of the Kyoto Protocol. The project produces reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 1) substituting electricity by thermal plants with electricity from renewable sources, using wood waste from existing wood processing...

Development Objective

The objective of the Project is to reduce emissions by generating energy from renewable sources by (i) substituting electricity produced by thermal plants with electricity from renewable sources, using wood waste from existing wood processing units and other wood residues from legal sources in the State of Santa Catarina, and (ii) avoiding methane emissions from wood waste piles, currently landfilled in most cases in an environmental harmful manner. However this project only claims emission reduction credits from the avoidance of methane emissions from wood waste piles, and not from electricity generation through biomass.
