Imagine, an old problematic garbage dump sitting on a 1,500 square meter portion of the Payatas dump,Quezon city has been the score of many accidents mostly involving the people who pick through the trash; now, the South East Asia's First Biogas Emmission Reduction Project's facility in the country. The biogas plant will serve as the city's contribution in efforts to reduce global warming.The project is composed of a plant which exracts, recovers and flares biogas produced in the city-owned waste disposal facility. The garbage is contained in an enclosed area and the pipes beneath the area will deliver methane gas, produced by the decomposition of the garbage to the plant which in turn will convert into electricity.Once full capacity operation is achieved, the project will avoid the emmission of more than 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year into the atmosphere. The facility is foreseen to be able to generate as much as 42,000 megawatts of electricity from waste over. And captured methane from the waste will be sold in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) trade, which in turn funds accumulated will be used for the city's socio-economic and livelihood programs.What a biggest environmental breakthrough in SEA and RP. Once a shocking story of massive lives' destruction, bodies living directly from the recyclables buried alive as the mountain of garbage collapse; now, a biggest positive factor in biotechnology in the country...
