Energy efficiency, renewable inputs, methane capture

The generation of waste grows as the population increases, producing 3% of global GHG. Sanitary landfills continue to be the most common option for the final disposal of urban solid waste in Latin America, therefore a natural source of Biogas. Methane emissions from landfills have a global warming effect 82 times greater than carbon dioxide.

Potential opportunity In Mexico: there are 2,203 landfills, 213 are prepared for the extraction of biogas, an opportunity of 213,000 m3/h of biogas. These captured gases can be converted into carbon-neutral biofuels that can be used for residential and commercial purposes.

a. Instead of being an expense/cost for the municipality, it is income from the sale of supplies.

b. They will stop emitting methane into the atmosphere, taking care of the health of city dwellers.

c. Under a circular economy scheme creating inputs from the waste produced by the inhabitants of the cities
