Project Title

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

Country

Malaysia

Project description

The project involves 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 9,128tCO2 (maximum) and minimum 2,255 tCO2. The capacity of power generator is 0.5MW. Estimated average annual emission reductions is 7,139tCO2.

This is a small scale CDM project. AMS I D version 12 'Grid connected renewable electricity generation' and AMS IIIG version 4 'Landfill methane recovery' is used.

Comment:

Since this project involved treatment of animal waste (solid and blood), is pasteurisation or disinfection of the wastewater before discharge required?

Comment:

Is the PDD used for validation. The PDD is not in the approved format. There are a number of comments inserted in a number of pages. . Such comments confuses the reviewer as to what is to be read and whether to rear what noted as "deleted", etc.. The inserted comments are also at sections like base line Information - annx 3. I think this 1st such a PDD I have seen.
