City X: Landfill gas to energy project
City X has a registered Programme of Activities (PoA) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) for emission reduction of landfill gas at its active and closed waste disposal facilities. Currently the City’s Coastal Park landfill project is the only registered project activity and has been operational since January 2018. More infrastructure is being developed at other sites and is expected to complete in December 2020. The estimated annual emissions reduction is 125 104 metric tonnes CO2e. The project will cost US$6 574 943.59 in total; US$4 000 000 has been spent thus far. This financing has been secured from the City budget.
Question 1: In which emitting sector will this reduce emissions?
First, we select the emitting sector and the type of action: Waste and biological treatment of waste
Question 2: What type of intervention is this? If it is also a policy, what type of policy?
From the case study, we read that: “More infrastructure is being developed at other sites and is expected to complete in December 2020”. Therefore, it can be classified as “direct energy infrastructure”. However, the intervention is not a policy, so we can select “n/a” for this.
Question 3: Which regional level does this action cover? Who is primarily responsible for its implementation?
From the case study, we learn that the answers are (i) local government and (ii) local government department, which we can input like this:
Question 4: What is the implementation timeframe?
For the implementation timeframe, you only need the year. From the case study we learn that: “Currently the City’s Coastal Park landfill project is the only registered project activity (CPA) and has been operational since January 2018. More infrastructure is being developed at other sites and is expected to be complete in December 2020.“ Therefore the start date is 2018, completion date 2020, and we input these dates as follows:
Question 5: What stage is the project at? If it has begun, how much of the total cost has been spent?
From the case study, we read that: “Currently the City’s Coastal Park landfill project is the only registered project activity (CPA) and has been operational since January 2018… The project will cost USD 6 574 943,59 in total; USD 4 000 000 has been spent thus far. “ Therefore, we can select “on-going” under status. Then we can input USD 4 000 000 for cost to date, and USD 6 574 943,59 for total cost, and select USD for currency:
Question 6: What is the quantifiable ANNUAL impact of the mitigation action?
We now turn to the “Estimates in target year” section. From the case study, we read that: “Currently the City’s Coastal Park landfill project is the only registered project activity (CPA) and has been operational since January 2018.“ Therefore annual emissions can be estimated, and the case study gives us the answer: “The estimated annual emissions reduction is 125 104 metric tonnes CO2e.“ Therefore, under tCO2eq/year, we input 125 104 as follows:
Question 7: Does this have co-benefits in terms of energy access adaptation? Is this a key action?
Landfill gas-to-energy is not particularly applicable to adaptation, and doesn’t necessarily affect energy access at the household level, so is unlikely to also affect adaptation and access to energy. However, it is a costly project with significant mitigation potential, so it is probably a key action. We would input these answers as follows:
