CGR Guatapara Landfill Project

0

The CGR Guatapará Landfill Project, located in Guatapará, São Paulo, Brazil, is a large-scale environmental initiative that captures and utilizes landfill gas (LFG), primarily methane, generated from the decomposition of municipal solid waste. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and if left unmanaged, it would escape into the atmosphere, contributing significantly to climate change. This Project combats that by collecting the gas through a network of wells and pipelines and either burning it safely in high-temperature flares or using it as fuel to generate clean electricity.
