It is expected that the Handbook will be used by those who, own, operate, engineer and regulate landfill sites in LAC as a roadmap for the assessment of candidate projects and to initiate development of LFG management projects. The Handbook is intended as a practical guideline that uses background information and a number of instructive tools to educate, guide and establish a basis for decision-making, technical feasibility assessment, economics assessment, and market evaluation of all aspects necessary for developing successful LFG management projects. The Handbook, it has been organized and presented in three distinct parts, with each part comprised of a number of sections. Section 1 provides an introduction to the overall format of the Handbook and a brief description of the Sections that comprise Part I, Part II and Part III. It also provides the prospective team with a summary of expected information needed to take the project to the Contract Execution Phase. Part 1 is comprised of sections that allow the reader to gain a technical understanding of the LFG resource and potential use of the fuel and is organized to provide a basic understanding of both the LFG resource and all of the elements. Part II looks at the energy and environmental policies, legislation, regulations and the current energy markets. It also provides an insight into the policies that help mitigate environmental and social problems resulting from existing solid waste management practices and to implement systems that minimize the potential future issues. Part III of the Handbook presents the possible approaches and information necessary for assessing LFG management projects at landfill sites and to provide specific guidance for the assessment and development for a specific project in LAC.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAIR POLLUTIONAIR SUPPLYBASELINE METHODOLOGYBIODIVERSITY PROTECTIONBIOGASBIOMASSCALCULATIONCARBONCARBON ASSETCARBON CREDITCARBON CREDITSCARBON DIOXIDECARBON FINANCECARBON FINANCE OPERATIONSCARBON MARKETCARBON MARKET DEVELOPMENTCARBON TRADINGCERTIFICATIONCERTIFIED EMISSION REDUCTIONCLEAN DEVELOPMENTCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM FACILITYCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCLIMATE EXCHANGECOGENERATIONCOLLECTED WASTECOMBUSTIONCONSERVATIONCONSTRUCTIONCONSTRUCTION WASTEDISPOSAL SERVICESDISPOSAL SITESDOMESTIC WASTEDUMP SITEDUMP SITESDUMPSITEEIAELECTRICITYELECTRICITY GENERATIONEMISSIONEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSION REDUCTIONSEMISSION REDUCTIONS PURCHASE AGREEMENTEMISSIONSEMISSIONS REDUCTIONEMISSIONS REDUCTION PURCHASEEMISSIONS REDUCTION PURCHASE AGREEMENTEMISSIONS REDUCTIONSENERGY EFFICIENCYENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGEENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDSFINAL DISPOSALFOSSIL FUELFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEGARBAGEGASGAS COLLECTIONGAS COLLECTION SYSTEMGAS COLLECTION SYSTEMSGAS GENERATIONGAS GENERATION PROJECTGAS SUPPLYGAS SYSTEMGAS UTILIZATIONGASESGENERATION CAPACITYGENERATION UNITSGHGGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICESGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GASESGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER QUALITYHOUSEHOLD WASTEINCOMEINTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTIRONIRON SECTORLAKESLANDFILLLANDFILL GASLANDFILL OPERATIONSLANDFILL SITESLANDFILL-GASLANDFILLSLEACHATELEACHATE COLLECTIONLOW RAINFALLMETHANEMETHANE COLLECTIONMETHANE GASMETROPOLITAN AREAMETROPOLITAN AREASMONITORINGMUNICIPAL WASTENATURAL RESOURCESNITROUS OXIDENOZZLESOILOPEN DUMPOPEN DUMPSPOWER GENERATIONPOWER PLANTSPOWER SUPPLYPURCHASE AGREEMENTSRAINFALLRECOVERY SYSTEMRECOVERY SYSTEMSRECYCLINGRECYCLING FACILITIESRENEWABLE SOURCESRIVERSSANITARY LANDFILLSSANITATIONSCAVENGERSSEWAGESEWAGE COLLECTIONSHIPSSITESOLID WASTESOLID WASTE COLLECTIONSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSPECIAL WASTESUGAR CANETIPPING FEESURBAN CENTERSURBAN WASTEURBAN WASTE COLLECTIONVALIDATION PROCESSVALVESVERIFICATION REPORTWASTE COLLECTIONWASTE COLLECTION RATEWASTE DISPOSALWASTE DISPOSAL SITESWASTE MANAGEMENTWASTE TRANSFERWASTE TREATMENTWASTE WATERWASTE WATER TREATMENTWASTEWATERWASTEWATER TREATMENTWATER POLLUTIONWELLSWINDWIND ENERGYWOOD RESIDUES10.1596/18081
