| Summary of FS Report | Summary(PDF 141KB) |
| Description of Project Activity | The project is to introduce an integrated MSW treatment system to the landfill site located in Ipoh City of Perak State, Malaysia. Currently, about 600t/day of MSW is disposed of in the target landfill, wherein the common practice for disposal is open dumping and landfill gasses are not extracted. The current open-dumping causes serious problems to the ambient environment. The project involves 1) LFG capture and utilization, or 2) composting of organic wastes through mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) in the landfill site. The proposed project activities are planned to be commenced in 2013. |
| Targeted GHG | CH4 |
| Category of Project Activity | Waste Management |
| CDM/JI | CDM |
| Duration of Project Activity/ Crediting Period | 2012-2033 / 2013-2019 (7 years, renewable crediting period) |
| Methodology to be applied |
|
| Baseline Scenario |
|
| Demonstration of Additionality | Additionality of the proposed project is demonstrated using the "Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 05.2)". Based on the results of investment analysis and common practice analysis, it was demonstrated that all the presented alternatives face investment barrier giving negative Project IRR, and any similar activities would not be implemented in Malaysia without the incentive provided by the CDM. Therefore, the proposed project activity is additional. This applies to both of A (LFG Capture and Utilization) and B (Composting of Organic Waste) projects. |
| Estimation of GHG Emission Reductions |
|
| Monitoring Plan | Based on the approved methodology, monitoring is implemented. Main monitoring items are as follows.
|
| Environmental Impact Analysis | The project might have some environmental impacts such as air pollution, noise and vibration, etc. which may occur along with construction and operation of the facility. However, the project’s overall impact on environment will be small, and be reduced to minimum by taking the appropriate mitigation measures. |
| Project Feasibility | The proposed projects can be economically feasible if implemented as CDM project. The project stakeholders are expressing an interest and place expectations in the implementation of the proposed project. However, further negotiation and coordination is still needed for the realization of the project. A final decision for project implementation should be made after due consideration of stakeholders' interests and the social condition. |
| Pollutants Emissions Reduction | B (Composting of Organic Waste) project can do following pollutants emission reduction.
