Oeste de Caucaia Landfill
Captures methane, produces biomethane, and supports climate action in Ceará, Brazil.
Located in Caucaia, Ceará State, this project captures landfill gas from the Oeste de Caucaia waste site and processes it into biomethane for injection into Brazil's gas network. The project represents an innovative approach to waste management that goes beyond simple flaring by creating a valuable renewable fuel. It prevents substantial methane emissions from entering the atmosphere, supports Brazil's renewable gas sector, and creates high-quality carbon credits that fund further climate action across the region. The facility serves a growing metropolitan area, demonstrating how sustainable waste management can scale to meet the needs of expanding cities while delivering climate benefits.
