Outline of GHG Mitigation Activity
The objective of this project is to build and operate a waste-to-energy plant that (1) generates electricity, some of which will be supplied to a power company, resulting in reduction of fossil fuel consumption at the power plant, (2) mitigates electricity shortage, (3) reduces CH4 emissions from landfill disposal, and (4) improvement of waste management in Yangon City. This is a pilot project conducted by Yangon City for promotion of waste-to-energy, with relatively small capacity (60t of waste per day).
Expected GHG Emission Reductions
4,067 tCO2-eq./year
*Average of emission reductions from 2017 to 2030
Site of JCM Project
Near Hlawga Lake, 35km north from central area of Yangon City
