The project activity has the objective to capture and to flare/combustion the landfill gas produced in the landfill called "Central de Tratamento de Resíduos Leste – CTL", located in the city of São Paulo (in the state of São Paulo), Brazil. The project activity will result in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction from the CTL landfill through the ways below: - Burning CH4 in flares and/or group generators (implemented and running); - Supply consumers through a dedicated pipeline (implemented and running); - The amount of electricity generated in the project activity will be part used for self-consumption at CTL landfill facilities and the surplus part will be exported to the Brazilian national grid, avoiding the dispatch of an equal amount of energy produced by fossil fueled thermal plants to that grid. The initiative avoids CO2 emissions and contributes to the regional and national sustainable development (not implemented yet, but already included in the CDM Project). It is important to highlight that currently the energetic use of the biogas in the project activity is through the selling of LFG to consumers (dedicated pipeline) and those consumers generates electricity to the grid. In the registered PDD is already contemplated one electricity generation plant which is not implemented yet by the project proponent, due to company internal arrangements as well as market conditions and products availability. The landfill began its operation on 24 November 2010, receiving of household waste (Class II-A and II-B). The increased area of the landfill is 704.106 m² incorporated to the existent landfill area of 1.123.590 m². Thus, the total landfill area considering the increased area is 1.827.696 m². There is the possibility of increasing the waste disposal area, however this possibility will be analyzed in the future. EcoUrbis Ambiental S.A. is the company responsible for the implementation and operation of the CTL landfill and also, it is responsible, since October/2004, for collection services and disposal of solid waste in region East and South of the city of São Paulo (covering around 6,000,000 of inhabitants) under a concession for twenty years, renewable for another twenty years. EcoUrbis Ambiental S.A. also counts on a code of ethics an implemented compliance system and policies such as: • Anti-Corruption Policy; • Policy on Gifts and Entertainment; • Supplier Hiring Policy; • Donation and Sponsorship Policy; • Partnership Policy. For this crediting period, estimates of GHG emission reductions are: • Annual average GHG emission reduction: 1,117,018 tCO2e • Total estimated GHG emission reductions: 7,819,126 tCO2e EcoUrbis also carry out an important integration activity between the employees, social entities and institutions located in São Paulo. The company has planned to have, among others: - Work accidents Prevention and Security - General Occupational health - Technological and "Know How" evolution - Formative activities along with teachers and the general community
