Outline of GHG Mitigation Activity

The project aims to reduce GHG emissions by introducing a biogas boiler and an anaerobic water treatment system. Biogas collected from which is used to replace the whole amount of coal consumption in the tapioca starch factory.
 By avoiding CO2 emissions from coal combustion and CH4 emissions from open lagoons, GHG emission reductions of 22,824tCO2e/year will be achieved.

Expected GHG Emission Reductions

22,824  tCO2/year
Reference emissions:22,824 tCO2/year
Substitution of Coal usage: 3,087 tCO2/year
Methane emission avoidance: 19,737 tCO2/year
Project emissions:0 tCO2/year
Emission reductions:22,824 tCO2/year
