SANTA CRUZ DE LA SIERRA WASTEWATER METHANE CAPTURE PROJECT

 

  SECTOR: METHANE RECOVERY AND AVOIDANCE

 

  General Description:

  The project activity involves the installation of a covering system on the existing

  anaerobic lagoons of the four wastewater treatment plants in Santa Cruz de la

  Sierra, Bolivia. This system will allow the lagoons to operate as anaerobic digesters

  and to capture the methane generated by anaerobic decomposition of the organic

  matter content, following by the combustion of the biogas in a closed flare.

 

  Project lifetime:

  20 years

 

  Accreditation period:

  21 years

 

  Baseline and Monitoring Methodology:

  Approved Baseline and Monitoring Methodology applied to the small-scale project activity.

  Version 04 of AMS II.H: Methane recovery in wastewater treatment, 23 December 2006.

 

  Estimated Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions:

  Up to a period of 21 years: 879,979 tCO2- equivalent.

  Annual average estimated emissions reductions: 41,904 tCO2e.

 

  Main Project Benefits:

  The development of this project under the CDM framework implies for the city a commitment to improve the current

  sewerage network management and sustain it during the lifetime of the project.

 

  Enhanced wastewater management will bring an improvement in the environmental and sanitary conditions in the

  surrounded residential areas.

 

  The gained  experience could be replicable in another places in Bolivia.

 

  Current Status:

  The PDD is under revision by the DNA to issue the National Letter of Approval
