dc.description.abstractThe objectives of the Landfill Gas-to-Energy (LFGTE) Initiative in Latin America and the Caribbean are to. 1) contribute to the maximization of methane emissions reductions and the development of carbon trading opportunities; 2) promote LFGTE investment in Latin America and the Caribbean to improve solid waste management practices in the region; 3) create awareness of LFGTE opportunities; 4) document and disseminate LFGTE experience; and 5) establish knowledge sharing mechanisms to increase cooperation. The aim of this report is to document the dissemination activities and outputs of the LFGTE Initiative, including case studies of LFGTE projects in Brazil, Canada, Chile, Latvia, Mexico, Uruguay, South Africa, and Poland, a "Handbook for the Preparation of LFGTE Projects," a workshop in Monterrey, Mexico in October 2003 in which these documents were presented, a knowledge network on LFG, and a Web site for the LFGTE Initiative. In addition to these efforts, the LFGTE Initiative identified landfill sites for pre-investment feasibility studies. Of the 26 sites that submitted letters of interest, 10 were chosen for pre-investment work, and 5 of those 10 were selected for additional pump tests. Investment resources, including carbon credit financing, were mobilized for viable sites. Along with these efforts, a Latin American LFG Project Expo was held in Montevideo, Uruguay, in July 2005 to disseminate experience and promote LFGTE projects in the region among the private and public sectors.en
