Wastewater treatment plant on Fiji
Project
The existing Kinoya wastewater treatment plant on Fiji was fitted with an exhaust system, which captures the methane generated by the fermentation of waste and flares it in a controlled manner.
Project owner
Republic of the Fiji-Islands
Initial situation
The fermentation of waste in the wastewater treatment plant generated methane, which was released unfiltered into the environment. Methane is 21 times more harmful than CO2 in terms of its greenhouse effect.
Due to Klimarappen
This project stems from the Asia Pacific Carbon Fund (APCF), in which the Foundation holds a stake of 25 million US$.
Savings
Overall, the APCF has secured 44'938 CERs by contract for the period 2008 to 2012. The Foundation will receive 16% of these.
