Meeting development objectives with carbon revenues

The MDG Carbon Facility provides services to a wide range of project types. These projects, of small to large scales, are viable with carbon revenues and are appropriate to the development objectives of the host country. Project types include: renewable energy, energy efficiency, fuel switching, agricultural waste management, biomass and biogas usage, and capture of fugitive emissions from landfills and industrial sources. Some projects will bridge several of these sectors.

MDG Carbon Facility project types
Renewable energy	Energy efficiency	Cleaner energy	Waste to energy	Fugitive emission reductions
Grid-connected electricity and/or heat: wind, solar, hydro, biomass	Building efficiencies - new and retrofit	Co-firing of biomass/wastes	Waste heat capture and use from industrial processes	Landfill gas capture and flare or productive use
Off-grid electricity: solar PV , micro hydro	Industrial energy efficiency, including cogeneration	Fuel switching to cleaner fossil fuels: coal to gas, diesel to LPG	Process changes to reduce energy content of product	Animal waste digestion gas capture and flare or productive use
Refurbishment/upgrade of existing renewable energy plants, notably hydropower	Energy efficient installations in programmatic approach – appliances, stoves		Biodigestors to produce usable methane as fuel	Avoidance of industrial fugitive emissions from natural gas pipelines/ installations
	Supply side energy efficiency improvements		Use of landfill gas for electricity generation
	Refrigeration/chiller efficiency involving CFC replacement technologies
