NJC supports avoiding methane emissions from landfill in Brazil

July 16, 2024

NJC has offset our entire 2022 carbon emissions through various certified projects through Ecologi. The Macaúbas Landfill Gas Project is a landfill gas collection, use and flare project in Brazil.

The main objective of the project is to prevent emissions of methane gas into the atmosphere from a landfill site located in Brazil.

The landfill gas project:

·      prevents environmentally damaging methane from being released into the atmosphere and export electricity to the grid

·      provide jobs and income generation, as qualified operators are needed to maintain and operate the machinery

The total emission reductions achieved in the current monitoring phase is 102,580 tCO2e.

This project is verified by the Verified Carbon Standard and meets 3 of the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals.
