Project Name:
Lahore Compost
Sector:
Solid Waste Management
RBF Instrument:
Carbon financing
GHG avoided estimate:
The project will lead to an estimated reduction of emissions at 4.5 million tCO2e during 2008-2026.
Budget (USD):
US$5.52 million
Project sponsors:
ESMAP, World Bank
Description:
The Lahore Compost also represents a potential adaptation for badly degraded agricultural lands across Pakistan. The composting would reduce the amount for landfill and the bio-fertilizer produced during the composting would help improve the fertility of the soil, improving its capacity for carbon retaining.
Description of the RBF Scheme:
The program is financed through a combination of equity and long-term debt. Registered as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), the project is expected to sell emission reduction credits at US$11/ton, the generated carbon finance payments are to be used to cover the project’s operational costs. The Monitoring and Verification (M&V) plan includes metering, monitoring, calculating, and verifying emissions reductions. Carbon credits was gained upon the verification of emission reduction. Debts are also expected to be recovered through compost sales revenue.
