Site-visit CPA site Shongweni

Posted on January 5, 2012

The landfill sector in Africa has huge untapped renewable energy potential. As Do-inc has long experience in composting and landfill gas projects, we see this as a key focus area in creating positive impacts.

In that light, we recently conducted the Validation site visit of the programme of activities we are developing for Ener-G systems. The CDM PoA concerns the capture and subsequent use of methane gas from the landfill for flaring and energy production.  During the site visit, Carbon Check, the DOE, visited the first project (CPA) site: Shongweni.

The visit went smooth, and we will update you once validation has been finalised.
