## About this carbon credit project

The Dongyuan Xiantang Landfill Gas Power Generation Phase I Project is a landfill gas recovery and power generation project located at the Dongyuan Xiantang Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill site in Heyuan City, Guangdong Province, China. The project captures landfill gas, which is primarily composed of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and uses it to generate electricity. This electricity is then supplied to the China Southern Power Grid, replacing electricity that would have otherwise been generated from fossil fuel-fired power plants.

The project provides several environmental benefits. Primarily, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions by preventing the release of methane into the atmosphere and by displacing electricity generated from fossil fuels. It also helps mitigate the risk of landfill explosions, reduces landfill odor, and contributes to the overall improvement of local air quality.

In addition to its environmental benefits, the project also provides social and community benefits. It has created both temporary and permanent jobs, contributing to the local economy. The project also improves landfill safety and reduces odor, enhancing the quality of life for nearby residents.
