Project Design Document

The proposed Liepaja Regional Solid Waste Management Project introduces a state-of-the-art waste management system to the Liepaja Waste Management Region including remediation of the existing landfill sites and the operation of energy cells for methane capture and utilization.
 There are two basic sources of GHG emission reductions from the project, methane and carbon dioxide.
 1.Methane Capture and Combustion or Flare (Direct Effects): The captured methane at the Grobina and Skede Sites from the sanitary landfill gas collection system is destroyed by either combustion or flaring, thereby reducing GHGs that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere. 2.Electric Generation Displacement (Direct Effects): Carbon dioxide emissions also are reduced by the project through the displacement of grid-based electricity by the landfill methane-based electricity produced at Grobina and Skede.
