Project Title

Methane Recovery by Bio-digestion of Animal Waste from Slaughterhouse in Ulu

Country

Malaysia

Project description

The project involve avoidance of methane generation at landfill by treatment of solid waste from slaughter house by anaerobic digestion. Biogas generated is used to produce electricity and thermal energy and displace the in-house fossil fuel consumption. Estimated maximum GHG emission reduction by destruction of methane is 6,101 tCO2 (maximum) and minimum 1,934 tCO2. The capacity of electricity generator is 0.2MW. Estimated average annual emission reductions is 4,660.1tCO2.

AM0025 ver 10- Avoided emissions from organic waste through alternative waste treatment processes approved methodology is used.

First crediting period is 10 years from January 2009.

Under A4.4, the total ERs and the annual average ERs are the same?

On pg 16, DOCj for food waste should be 0.15.

On pg 21, the project emissions for start up fuel was calculated 24 hrs x 365 days. This is surprising as the operating days for the factory are only 300 days and I presume it is not needed to start up the system every hour?

On pg 21, the calculation of PE from flaring: should use the relevant tool? Is it true that the animal waste are transported 53 km to Jeram Landfill? If wastewater is to be blended to the solid waste, should the content of the wastewater be considered? If digested waste is to be entered into open lagoon after biogas system, project emissions need to be considered?
