Carbon Offset Project:
Landfill Gas, Chile
Project Location
Valparaiso Province, Chile
Total Emission Reductions
270,000 tonnes of CO2e over the 10 years of the project activity
Additionality Test
Established using the CDM Additionality Tool. The project faces significant financial barriers that would threaten its viability in the absence of carbon finance. Project net present value (NPV) of the project is negative without anticipated carbon credit sales, even when a conservative discount rate is used. In addition, the technical, legal, economic and financial conditions are such that almost no LFG collection and destruction is occurring in Chile.
Social and Environmental Considerations
A formal consultation was conducted assessing the impact on the landscape, fauna and flora, air and climate, safety and noise. As a result of the study, there are no negative environmental impacts due to the project activity. All the impacts of the project activity listed above will contribute to improve both local and global environment as well as providing jobs for the local community.
