 Landfill gas is produced when solid waste is disposed in landfills or large open dumps. It contributes to global warming, local air pollution and increases the risk of fires and explosions at the landfill site. Landfill gas emissions and their associated impacts can be mitigated by collecting the gas from the landfill and burning it for use as a fuel source. Although common in many parts of the world, such landfill gas facilities are still relatively new to Indonesia.
Workshop Objectives Provide useful information on the technology of landfill gas utilization; project development using case study examples from Indonesia and Latin America; and the technical and process aspects of accessing carbon finance. Facilitate the development of projects including identifying those municipalities or private sector entities that would like to pursue projects further.
The workshop combine training on technical issues with discussions of project development and barriers in Indonesia. It will begin with an overview session to explain Indonesia’s solid waste situation and prospects for landfill gas utilization and describe the worldwide experience in landfill gas and carbon funds. Technical training will then provide a broad understanding of landfill gas technologies and their use and the procedures necessary to access carbon finance for landfill gas facilities.  This will be followed by several sessions that will provide a basis for discussion of project development in Indonesia. This will include the presentation of several case study projects, a field trip to the Suwung landfill where a landfill gas facility is under development and presentations on financing and energy laws, policies and tariffs. A break out discussion group will then discuss and identify the major challenges and opportunities in project development.
The sessions will be oriented as much as is possible to providing advice specific for project and cities in Indonesia that have the potential for landfill gas development. This will be done by inviting those municipalities with large potential and undertaking background surveys to understand the technical and other challenges to project development. During the sessions, specific advice will be provided, for example by the technical speakers and through review comments on the Project Idea Notes that have been prepared. Also, as follow up from the workshop, municipalities and project developers that are interested in further development of a project will be provided the opportunity to receive assistance in developing the necessary analysis and documentation for accessing carbon finance.
