Recycle Organics: Reducing 30% of Methane Emissions from the Waste Sector by 2030

The goal of Recycle Organics is to accelerate the implementation of methane mitigation projects in the waste sector and create conditions for a sustained expansion of organic waste technologies. Public policy guidelines and recommendations that strengthened the waste management system and accelerated methane mitigation were implemented. The project raised awareness and scientific diffusion with an educational curriculum in Chile, the use of social media, and more than 20 workshops which trained over 480 individuals. Under the project, development of measurement, reporting, and verification protocols to estimate emission reduction potential in waste treatment projects and quantifying emissions from the national waste sector was done.

Identifying Coal Mine Methane (CMM) Mitigation Options in Colombia

Colombia prepared a CMM Country Profile in 2019 that described the national circumstances and identified and categorized 30 key stakeholders in Colombia's CMM industry. The U.S. EPA then conducted a pre-feasibility study to explore the possibility of CMM capture and utilization at the Casa Blanca Mine and determined that onsite power generation was the most viable option for CMM use.
