Waste Services
Carbon finance is a powerful incentive to improve the treatment of waste methane globally. As organic waste decomposes, it produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas with 21 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide. Although existing technologies to capture, flare and even use methane from landfills are available and comparatively cheap, most developing countries do not regulate methane emissions or lack the incentive mechanisms to promote relevant technologies.
Income from carbon credits makes a decisive difference in the economics of methane avoidance projects and turns an environmental liability into an economic asset. Often, these projects go hand in hand with improved sanitation, odour control, and air and groundwater protection. With dozens of projects registered under the CDM or in the voluntary markets, the potential for this sector should continues to be significant enough to attract investment in the future.
